Documentation Team

This pages assembles some information for those involved in the process of creating and maintaining documentation for TurboGears and gives pointers to those that want to contribute to this effort.

Mission Statement

We believe that TurboGears is one of the best web development frameworks out there and that the quality of its documentation should reflect that. The sentiment stated in the TurboGears project philosophy, "If it isn't documented, it doesn't exist", serves as the driving idea behind our efforts. Currently, these efforts are directed towards bringing the documentation for the TurboGears 1.0 release up to par with this goal by writing missing pieces, updating old documents and structuring what we have. We are always looking for volunteers who would like to help out by writing new documentation, check/update contributions from others, or provide useful comments, criticism and other suggestions!

Mailing List

Discussion about documentation efforts for TurboGears takes place on the turbogears-doc Google Group. This is a low-volume, member-only-posting group. The archive is open to the public. To post on the list, write email to:
