The following process describes how to review and update the wiki version of the Deployment Guide to create a new release of the Google Doc version.
- Planning
- Agree goals of new release and high level milestone plan
- Mobilisation
- Identify OLPC sponsor for new Deployment Guide release
- Agree who in OLPC is nominated to review changes to the deployment guide
- Form core team
- Identify key stake holders and subject matter experts
- Agree roles and responsibilities including who should be responsible, accountable, consulted or informed about what at which stage in the project
- Preparation
- Check sections with the same title as new sections you want to add don't already exist and if they do make a decision about whether to edit that live page directly or to take a copy and publish it by copying it back later as we do with the main Deployment Guide page
- Review material in the ClassActs/Resources section
- Identify existing material that could be referred to by or moved into the new sections
- Add new sections (see all sections in the Draft Deployment Guide, new sections are marked with a *)
- Follow all links from the Draft Deployment Guide according to priorities
- Combine or delete pages where appropriate, updating any references to these at the same time
- Review and update pages to improve clarity, navigation and accuracy
- Split pages into multiple sections or pages where appropriate
- Add cross references between pages where appropriate
- Review structure and flow of the Draft Deployment Guide
- Add additional navigation / cross references between sections as required
- Add clearer reference to the official Deployment Guide, Deployment Toolkit and Contacts List
- Go through the google doc and add missing material back into the Working Deployment Wiki
- Use the discussion tab for each wiki page for sharing ideas and review comments
- Preparation
- Review Draft Deployment Guide with OLPC
- Create google doc from Draft Deployment Guide
- Review google doc with OLPC
- Agree publishing date and comms with OLPC
- Copy the Draft Deployment Guide back into the Deployment Guide
- Announce new Deployment Guide and google doc
- Use this section as a basis for creating the Process for Releasing New Deployment Guide
- Create a Deployment Toolkit (wiki page and excel spreadsheet)
- Obtain latest versions of spreadsheets
- Combine the OLPC Deployment Workbook Excel spreadsheet (country budget planner) with the Economic Template Excel spreadsheet
- Simplify
- Improve usability
- Update assumptions if required (contact authors)
- Align the Deployment Toolkit with the Deployment Guide
- For each line item in the spreadsheet there should be a corresponding section in the wiki
- For each relevant section in the wiki, the spreadsheet should allow budget planning for it, e.g.
- Power generation solutions
- Teacher training options
- Project support resourcing options
