Qt documentation is written by a small global team of technical writers and developers working at The Qt Company, complemented by a number of contributors from other parts of the Qt community. Since different parts of Qt are developed in different locations, writers with expertize in a particular area are typically co-located with the developers of that area. For example, the documentation for Qt Creator is written in Berlin.
'''This wiki was updated to Qt 6 and now resides in [[Contributing to Qt Documentation]]'''
 
Qt's technical writers are also responsible for many of the examples provided with Qt and related projects. However, the demonstrations provided with these projects are typically created by developers, and these are often not intended to be documented or supported by the Qt documentation team.
 
The documents in this category aim to cover the many aspects of Qt documentation creation, including the process we use to accept contributions from other community members.
 
== Documentation Snapshots ==
 
Currently, Qt documentation is hosted at three sites:
* [http://doc.qt.io/ doc.qt.io]: contains official releases
* [http://doc-snapshots.qt.io/ snapshots]: contains unreleased documentation from the [http://codereview.qt-project.org/ Codereview] repositories
* [http://doc.qt.io/archives/ archives]: contains legacy documentation
 
== Contributing to Qt Documentation ==
 
=== Prerequisites ===
 
Here are the basic steps to help you get started contributing to the Qt documentation:
# Familiarize yourself with the [[:Category:Developing_Qt | development process]]. In particular, [[Qt Contribution Guidelines | the process of contributing code]].
# Create a [https://bugreports.qt.io Jira] account and set up your [[Setting up Gerrit | Gerrit ]] environment.
# [[Get_The_Source | Download]] the Qt sources.
# Read the page regarding [[Code_Reviews | code reviews]].
 
=== QDoc and Style Guidelines ===
 
Qt's documentation tool is QDoc. QDoc scans through the source and generates html pages regarding the classes, enums, QML types, and other parts of the
reference documentation.
 
* [http://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-dev/qdoc-index.html QDoc Manual]
 
To get started, the [http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qdoc-guide.html QDoc Guide] explains how QDoc generates documentation from QDoc comments.
 
=== QDoc Regression Testing ===
 
* [[QDocRegressionTesting]]
 
=== [[:Category:Writing Guidelines]] ===
 
* [[Qt Writing Guidelines]]
 
=== Submitting a Patch ===
 
The process for submitting a documentation patch is the same as for source code. For more information, read the [[Code_Reviews | Code Reviews ]] page.
 
==== Approvers and Editors ====
 
For language reviews, documentation reviews, and technical reviews, you may add any of the relevant [[Maintainers | maintainers]] as reviewers as well as the following individuals:
* Leena Miettinen (Qt Creator documentation maintainer)
* Venugopal Shivashankar
* Martin Smith
* Nico Vertriest
* Topi Reinio (Documentation maintainer)
* Sze Howe Koh
 
For language reviews (particularly for non-native English speakers) only, you may also add any of the following individuals:
* Mitch Curtis
* Lorn Potter
* [[User:EdwardWelbourne|Edward Welbourne]]
 
For documentation help, join the #qt-documentation channel in Freenode.
 
=== Filing Documentation Issues ===
 
Anybody with a [https://bugreports.qt.io/ Jira] account may file a bug. For documentation bugs, please file the issue and enter ''Documentation'' '''AND''' the relevant library or module in the Component field. The process of fixing code bugs also apply to documentation issues.
 
Before filing an issue, please check that it has not already been fixed in a later version of the documentation.
The latest documentation snapshots are at [http://doc-snapshots.qt.io/  doc-snapshots.qt.io]
 
== Qt 5 Documentation ==
 
The organization and development of Qt 5 documentation is covered in another wiki: [[Qt5DocumentationProject]]
 
=== Documentation Structure ===
 
The [[Qt_Documentation_Structure | Qt Documentation Structure]] page provides information about the structure of the documentation.
