radiology module: new documentation

Dear all,

I updated the documentation for the radiology module.

I used asciidoc which is like markup with some nice tools to create html, pdf, ebooks :slight_smile: So we are prepared and flexible for the future.

The project can be found here: https://github.com/teleivo/openmrs-module-radiology-docs

Its a work in progress so if you find an issue or want me to clarify some points, please tell me or issue a pull request :wink:

I uploaded a pdf of the current status to https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Radiology+Module section Installation.

Happy reading!

I’m glad you’re thinking about this in a forward-looking way!

One thought: our convention has ben that repos named openmrs-module-* refer to modules themselves. Perhaps a new convention to start would be openmrs-doc-*, so in this case you’d call it openmrs-doc-module-radiology.

This is great. Will check it out when i get home. :slight_smile:

This is aweosme! But is there any good reason to maintain a separate repository for docs rather than just a /docs directory at the root level?

your totally right, there is no reason. spring-xd also has it in the same repo with their code. I am also in favor of having it all in one place.

I just wanted to get asciidoctor setup first and gain some more experience with it. I’ll integrate it soon. there is even a maven plugin for generating the html, but I guess there’s a maven plugin for almost anything :slight_smile:

Really looking forward to you testing this approach for us! :trophy:

renamed the repo, it is now at GitHub - teleivo/docs-openmrs-module-radiology: 📖 Documentation of the OpenMRS Radiology Module hope thats also ok with the openmrs convention.

furthermore I use travis to publish any changes to the docs to github pages, see http://teleivo.github.io/docs-openmrs-module-radiology/

will be looking into ways of integrating it with the modules source code directly, so its all in one place.

There’s a hypothetical benefit of having all openmrs repos be named openmrs-* (and therefore openmrs-doc-xyz is “better” than doc-openmrs-xyz), but there’s not any actual tooling or process built around this idea. :slight_smile:

Ill rename it when we get there, and it might be incorporated into the codes repo anyway :slight_smile:
