Documentation day

  - development - best practice
  - Development - remote debug - server management
  - Price List documentation
  - Best practices on multi currency transactions
  - Best practices - accounting dimensions
  - Best practices - for dev Ops, development and deployment
- @chuckboecking has worked a lot towards automatization and the dev ops operations via scripts. He will discuss that with the core team on JIRA to push that forward as documentation: https://github.com/chuboe/idempiere-installation-script/
- Remote debugging is already documented here: https://wiki.idempiere.org/en/IDempiere_Recipes#Remote_debugging_using_Eclipse.
- Server management/configuration: is greatly cover by Chuck's talk on last year's conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCohI_0Ddfg&t=330s
- We proceed to do the documentation day as planned in a previous meeting: add the missing documentation of new features (https://wiki.idempiere.org/en/Category:To_Be_Documented) and update screenshots on the wiki manual (https://wiki.idempiere.org/en/Manual)
- We create a poll to choose the documentation day date.
Community spotlight initiative
- The initiative is nice. However, we have identified with @barg4barg that the project is not currently attracting potential contributors for these activities, we should pursue a different message to state that such contributions are welcome and would be rewarded.
How can you help? Call to action
- Create the poll to choose the documentation day date.
- Create a JIRA ticket to discuss all the work done by @chuckboecking about devops automatization
