The DEA Knowledge Hub is an open-source documentation platform designed specifically for geoscientists, and we invite you to fork our code.
Last year, the Digital Earth Australia program of Geoscience Australia embarked on the project of revamping our documentation sites. After many ideas, insights, problems, and solutions, we developed an open-source documentation platform that is tailored to the needs of geoscientists.
This talk will give you a demo of the DEA Knowledge Hub and its various features. It will also explain the open-source technologies that it is built upon, such as Sphinx.
You'll learn how we adopted the docs-as-code philosophy to enable simplicity, ease of editing, and an intuitive peer-review workflow.
You will also see some advanced features that may change the way you write documentation. These include 'data templates' and Jupyter Notebook rendering.
Finally, there will be a demo of the dea-knowledge-hub code repository to show you how easy it is to fork the repository and set up your own documentation website.
