Ceres Documentation

Welcome

Please choose your documentation from the list in the sidebar to the left, or use the search box in the upper-right corner.

Welcome to the Online Ceres Documentation! We created this site to make it easier to find, share and use the really detailed documentation that Ceres already has. We think this has a few advantages over the old Word-based documentation that's been on Hungernet. For example, this version has:

• Formatting applied by an overall stylesheet, not per document
• An embedded version control process for making updates to the documentation
• Food banks can easily take a copy of a document to modify for their own purposes
• Food banks can fork/download the source code to customize their own documentation site
• Ability to document more than one Ceres version
• Hyperlinks available
• Searchable within and across all documents
• Uses readily available, inexpensive tools, very low maintenance expense
• Uses existing documentation as source files
• A process for user feedback on the documentation

One of the greatest benefits of doing the documentation this way is that we can now receive and respond to actual user feedback. Is something wrong, confusing or misleading? Do you know of a better way to do something described in the documentation? Is there a task or workflow that's missing? Now you can let us know, and we'll actually fix it. For real!

To give us feedback, just post to our discussion board on GitHub for the documentation repository.

Thanks, and we hope you find it useful!
