Documentation sessions to take care of code
What could it be
Periodical sessions where to document code. Once a week, a couple of hours, on a regular basis.
Soft facilitation:
- not meant to be frontal moments, but more a shared space
- small zines to share things about documentation practices (readings, frameworks, prompts)
- p2p feedback and help
- coffee snacks music
- stickers with animals that says document your code (wip)
- share progress like brief debrief ?
For who?
For people that tinker with code. Both novice and navigated ones. For documenting small ongoing prototypes or more structured projects. For xpub2, xpub1, lens based, even bachelor students? Something open.
How to do
- Decide when and where and communicate it
- Could be useful to have some examples
- Nice also to have some prompts
Where ? ? ?
- March 23rd at varia
- Could ask v2 if it's somethig they are interested in
- School
Some visual test
Not sure but made a couple of flyers let's see
Flyer text triouts
Document code like birds of paradise do
2 hours of headspace to write some nice documentation for a more accessible programming practice
Ok this is really not necessary right now but what about:
A small system to generate flyers
- Header
- Bird
- Date - Place - Info
- Adjective
Document code like
<birds name> do
<picture of bird>
<date><place><info>
2 hours of headpsace
to write some nice
DOCUMENTATION
for a more <adj>
programming practice
And with wobbly shapes for the flyer ... but this will be for another time
Let's write some text!!
points to touch on:
- code documentation
- couple of hours
- not just your code
Let's write some code documentation! For your new coding project, for the cryptic library you downloaded recently, for a script you want to share with others!
Too many pieces of code are left alone out there: without an entry point, invisible, while outside is raining
It's so nice when explanation of how a script works: wouldn't be great to take care
- notes for thesis: cycling along the river, documentation, learning a new language, esolang, exploring different ways of thinking
