Icinga development visualized by Gource

Hi there,

Icinga and the fork happened not that long ago but during this period of time a lot of nice things happened.

Providing Icinga Core with integrated IDOUtils supporting MySQL/Postgres/Oracle, fresh docbook format and therefore enhanced documentation, a completely new Icinga API based on IDOUtils and providing data for the new upcoming Icinga Web. Also lots of other improvements and enhancements.

Writing a historical overview would get boring soon. So we decided to catch up on another Idea: gource.

It’s a small program fetching all commits within our git repositories (core, doc, api, web) and presenting the timeline and changes using rendered pictures.

But that’s not all, it is possible to convert that to nice looking movies.

But there is so much to tell…

Not this time!

Just relax and watch :-)

Call for Translators

Published on 21. January 2010 by Scott Evans in Documentation. 4 Comments Tags: , .

Currently the Icinga documentation is only available in English & German,  we need to expand this to include many other languages. This is where you (the community) can help out! if you are already a translator for another project or would like to get involved in becoming one, then the Icinga Team welcomes you to the challenge…

The Icinga documentation is currently in XML format, a good application for editing the XML files is called XMLmind the personal edition is free to download. Next get yourself a fresh copy of the current documentation from the Icinga git repositories…

git clone git://git.icinga.org/icinga-doc.git

Once you have downloaded this, navigate your way to either the de or en directory and there you will find all the documentation XML files awaiting you!

So if this sounds like a challenge you would like to participate in, then please contact us at  info@icinga.org to get your translations included into future releases of Icinga…
