This is an updated about the documentation work on the Transition Network site and development processes.

### Summary:

- The time and budget on the documentation has been used up
- We now have explored the various options and have an ‘on ramp’ for new developers
- We have documentation for website development process – most on one option with room in the others
- We have started the website documentation about CTs, theme, views etc.
- There are two main website documentation sections left: theme work and setting up a new section (both of which Ben is doing so he can help with that)

### Development routes:

Overarching development page here

1. Pre-made environment: didn’t work out so well with Mark, lots of time spent with not much result (as Laura before): will leave for someone keener/Jim to explore and expand
2. Webserver on own workstation: up and running and documented
3. Other web server: like #2 with tweaks: not complete but similar
4. Using Aegir: explored. could be a a couple more hours to test depending on issues around SFTP

### Website documentation:

[Overarching website documentation page here](https://trac.transitionnetwork.org/trac/wiki/website?ref=news.transitionnetwork.org)

#### Mostly done but always in need of more love:

1. About the website more rounded than other sections – with some breakdowns of some of the key views
2. Key view example
3. Work standards
4. [About drupal](https://trac.transitionnetwork.org/trac/wiki/website/aboutDrupal?ref=news.transitionnetwork.org)

#### Other sections to do

5\. Working on the theme  
6\. Creating new hubs on the TN.org site

Well done Mark Nielsen for wrestling the development processes into the daylight!
