  • Versioned docs project
    • Waiting for the new location docs.jenkins.io that can host the versioned site
    • Working on the Gatsby
    • Infra team have agreed to bring the versioned docs site work into an upcoming milestone
      • Waiting for the conversion before moving docs
  • Recently merged/in progress work for jenkins.io
  • Docs office hours Asia canceled for later
    • Removed from the Jenkins calendar
  • Deprecation of Blue Ocean & documentation tasks
    • Good use case for versioned documentation. The Jenkins core release that deprecates Blue Ocean should redirect from Blue Ocean to the replacement pages
    • Update status/note at top of page
    • Look for potential replacement documentation (extended pipeline graph view documentation, other documentation)
      • Unless it’s best to just remove/redirect away from it
    • Potentially move the blue ocean documentation to a different area
    • Would the version documentation take care of this problem for us if it is not part of ‘latest’?
    • Quite a few tutorials & documentation linked to Blue Ocean
      • Things that were written recently have had the Blue Ocean reference removed in favor of Pipeline Graph View
      • Basic usage of Pipeline Graph View covers what Blue Ocean offers. There are some things Blue Ocean can do specifically, but this does not necessarily mean the Pipeline Graph View is not enough.
      • Infra still uses it as well at this time, so it is very clear how important Blue Ocean is for some users
      • New users should start with Pipeline Graph View (for a better experience)
    • Kevin exploring (new) GitHub Projects as a way to capture all the work needed for this
      • Old project function used previously, however this has changed since
      • Act as a central location for all the tasks necessary as we start to plan this out
