Yelp to Wiki links
Submitted by Andreas Lloyd
Link to original bug (#348542)
Description
Add a "Contribute" button to the Yelp toolbar which links from the active Yelp subpage to corresponding feedback section on a (vendor-)specific documentation wiki.
With the MoinDocBook Summer of Code project http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MoinDocBookProject, it will be possible for F/OSS projects to write their documentation directly in a Moin wiki for easy export to the DocBook format and use in Yelp. This also opens up the possibility of users being able to casually comment, share experiences and make new suggestions to the documentation. Microsoft has done some research on this http://infomanagementcenter.com/enewsletter/200412/second.htm, offering the users the option to give feedback, but not to see each other's feedback or see if their suggestions are being used.
A F/OSS project can much better organize its documentation around a wiki and thus make it easy for its users to contribute. Linking to the documentation wiki directly in Yelp will make users aware of the possibility. It is a function that would work best if fully integrated into Yelp, with a button in the toolbar - to make it as visible as possible.
