Hi Contributors,

I don't hesitate contribute with my strategical vision and I suggest it:

- Create one /docs folder per repository instead in readme ( and point the readme to docs page )
- One subfolder for technical documentation and another with functional with only the markdown files.
- In /docs folder create a static web page with any generator and render and host it with GitHub pages.
- Create one subdomain per repository pointing to webpage. In this way, making it web page is more searchable and accesible to people.
- To Centralize all the How-To set up the e-learning module at OCA system.
- In the e-learning module you can point content to each subdomain with each web page, in a embeded web page way.
- In this way you can create a course path for functional or technical documentation based on this embeded web pages.

This is my approach, with the e-learning system you can also do gamification, certification and promote the OCA mission.

Hi Tom and other contributors,

Thanks a lot for your feedback! This post received a very nice welcome, it's really motivating!

I keep note of your ideas about helping functional people get involved and participate to communicate the high value of OCA modules.
If you're motivated for the first article (we can decide later on which platform/way of keeping this content) about the import/export module, that could be a first content to directly try and see how to diffuse it!

We can keep in touch (outside from this mailing list).


To the other contributors: if any other ideas/comments come to your minds, don't hesitate!

Have a nice end of week and super cool week-end!

PS. Instead of blogs, which are perhaps a bit flighty and lose their actuality value over time, it could also be some kind of permanent wiki or github-based website, which is updated and community-reviewed as time goes by, with the latest insights per functional topic and Odoo version.

Anyway, ideas ideas... good luck in the new board for 2021!

Hi Virginie

In the post you are mentioning people to react below the blog post, but I can't... so then here:

As a part of communication - maybe a method can be to make a platform that facilitates functional people to write attractive documentation/blogs/howto's about solving Odoo problems with OCA modules. For one, this could supplement the thorough lack of documentation on Odoo CE; but also, if consultants and clients read these blogs with examples and understand better that OCA modules are better than alternatives, because they:

- usually solve problems in the best way, as there is hard-won community consensus on their design
- are designed to interoperate together as a holistic eco-system
- are extendible (even better than most Odoo modules are)
- are quality-controlled
- are OpenUpgradable
- etc.

Then they would understand better why it can be commercially more interesting to choose OCA modules and avoid technical debt, then go for the latest and greatest Odoo version supported by some crude customizations and App Store modules, and become disappointed in Odoo in the long run. And then, they would also become motivated to financially support OCA.

A case in point is for example the import/export modules in the "queue" repository - I'm seeing so many inferior hand-rolled syncing implementations lately, that I'm very motivated to write a furious blog to tell everyone to stop doing that and build on the OCA solution. But now, aside from starting my own blog on the subject, I wouldn't know where to place such an article.

Tom
