I'm updating documentation to remove mentions of Mercurial and replace with resources for Git. I'm also trying to go through the flow of pages, starting from the main page, hopefully figuring out what someone new to the project will click on...
Right now I'm doing a depth-first traversal of links, starting from the "Dreamwidth Developers" section of the main page.
Dev Getting Started - changed paragraphs to a list for easier scannability. Moved stuff from the intro at the top to a "what you need" section / removed the two paragraphs on installing a dev environment since they somewhat are repeated below or in other pages.
Bugzilla - made the link to workflow more visible, removed needs-review / needs-commit from saved searches
Dreamwidth Scratch Installation - adjusted references from etc/config* to ext/local/etc/config*; removed paragraphs from the "Starting development section", instead linking back to "Dev Getting Started" to centralize
Main development folder - moved to Directory Structure
Dev Patches - obsolete, deleted. Will replace anywhere that refers to this to the git workflow
Draft: Github development process - forward to Version Control
Version Control - replace with old contents of Github development process
Stopping for now; have worked my way through the links at http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/Dev_Getting_Started through to the end of "The short version"
I'll post further changes in another entry.
