Instructions for doing a doc review

See DocReviewProcess for more instructions

  1. Does the documentation define the Users of your Package, i.e. for the expected usages of your Stack, which APIs will users engage with?
  2. Are all of these APIs documented?
  3. Do relevant usages have associated tutorials? (you can ignore this if a Stack-level tutorial covers the relevant usage), and are the indexed in the right places?
  4. If there are hardware dependencies of the Package, are these documented?
  5. Is it clear to an outside user what the roadmap is for the Package?
  6. Is it clear to an outside user what the stability is for the Package?
  7. Are concepts introduced by the Package well illustrated?
  8. Is the research related to the Package referenced properly? i.e. can users easily get to relevant papers?
  9. Are any mathematical formulas in the Package not covered by papers properly documented?

For each launch file in a Package

  1. Is it clear how to run that launch file?
  2. Does the launch file start up with no errors when run correctly?
  3. Do the Nodes in that launch file correctly use ROS_ERROR/ROS_WARN/ROS_INFO logging levels?

Concerns / issues

Tim

  • manifest.xml description needs to be filled in. Copying the Overview paragraph should be sufficient.

    • (./) Done.

  • added Tutorials page and linked to Moving the Head tutorial.
    • (./) Great, thanks.

  • there's great stuff in that tutorial - think about copy & pasting some of the details here.

Vijay

  • Pretty sure you're missing tildas
    • (./) Fixed.

  • Yes, you've documented the interface, but it doesn't feel clear enough for me to actually start using this package.
    • A picture showing data flow from controller to action to high-level app would make this a lot clearer.
    • Maybe it could use a small 5-line verbatim block, showing how to command it.

      (./) Tim added a link to the relevant tutorial, which gives a thorough example of usage.
