Atlassian Doc Sprint Event a Success!

I believe most participants and observers would agree that the Doc Sprint event organized by the imaginative Atlassian technical writing team was a success. I, for one, was able to complete a much-needed revamp of my JIRA on Linux reference guide during the two-day event.

The new JIRA on Debian Linux Reference Guide provides an improved layout. The Guide features embedded links to multimedia screencasts, which help communicate concepts better for those of us who are more visually or audibly inclined. Screencasts can also save a ton of writing and many series of screen shots. While a picture speaks a thousand words; a single screencast can speak volumes.

The new JIRA on Linux Administrators Reference Guide is still in the works. Now numbering close to a hundred pages, this Guide addresses installing, configuring and testing JIRA on a variety of Linux platforms, including Fedora and CentOS. I’ve added additional information and resources of interest to both JIRA administrators and application developers in the new Guide. The new Guide will also feature screencasts to better communicate certain topics. Look for the new Guide to be released sometime next month.
