Thanks, Carl. I like your plan. The main thing I liked about my plan was that I could do it myself right away, without waiting for anyone to commit site patches. I figured we could reorganize later, but it's better to do things right the first time. Come to think of it, I don't have to wait for tab changes before adding docs to the Hive wiki.
Does my outline for the Hive wiki fit the bill? Or should HCatalog docs be parceled out among existing Hive topics? (Installation in Admin docs, and so on.) If necessary, an HCatalog overview page could show where to find everything. – Lefty On Wed, May 15, 2013 at 6:17 PM, Carl Steinbach <cwsteinb...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi Lefty, > > I think we should do the following: > > 1) Move the HCatalog wiki pages from the HCatalog space to the Hive space. > (Here's the relevant Confluence doc that explains how to do this: > > https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF20/Moving+a+family+of+pages+from+one+space+to+another > ) > > 2) Convert the HCatalog xdocs to wikidocs and add them to the Hive wiki > space. > > 3) Remove the "HCatalog" and "HCatalog Wiki" tabs from the Hive webpage. > > 4) Update the description of Hive that appears on the website to include > some information about HCatalog. > > > Thanks. > > Carl > > > On Wed, May 15, 2013 at 1:55 AM, Lefty Leverenz <le...@hortonworks.com > >wrote: > > > Now that HCatalog is part of Hive, its documentation must be converted > from > > xdocs to wikidocs before we can make revisions and additions. > > > > Currently HCatalog has its own tab on the Hive website, and the HCatalog > > wiki has another tab.
