The database itself is all created by the database migrations, which you can find at github.
Why does this type of documentation have to be created by the development team, when they don't need it to do their development work? As everyone works on phpBB in it's free time this sometimes means that priority not always to get this kind of very technical documentation written.Database_Digger wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 3:00 am Now for that obsoleteness - That is exactly a point I want to make by posting my question about it here:
1 - Why does this type of documentation have to be created by a external 3rd party person ?
I don't know how much your experience is, but I can tell you, a lot of open source projects don't have people that are so dedicated to a task .2 - Why is this type-of-material not natively produced by the relevant and responsible phpBB
- Database Developers ?
- Documentation Specialists ?
- Community Managers ?
Everyone is free to contribute to documentation. You can find all our documentation at github. Please keep in mind that the dev documentation would be the right location for this kind of documentation, we are working on moving a lot of stuff from the wiki to the dev documentation.I've already seen this phpBB manual, which looks really great and well done (to my personal opinion):
- https://area51.phpbb.com/docs/dev/master/index.html
So some (end-user-level) documentation is being actively worked on very well.
Now I'm seriously wondering when these efforts will be extended into upgrading the current developer-sections / wikis too?
