= Package Documentation =

== Overview ==
The Orchard team aspire to have public-facing documentation for all software packages distributed via munki and the Orchard Software Centre. This documentation is intended both for end users and for IT support staff, and can be found by browsing the links in the Display Name column of [[Software/List|the software list]]. The documentation follows a simple template which embeds a dictionary of key/value pairs into the static wiki page for the software.

== Documenting a package ==
 1. Once the software is in the production repo, it will appear in the software list. Click on the Display Name of the software to take you to an empty wiki page.
 1. Create this page from the template `Software/SoftwareTemplate`
   * Once created (as noted in the comments at the top of the page:
     * update references to `**DISPLAY_NAME**` with the package display name (e.g. `Amazing Widgets`)
     * update references to `**NAME**` with the package name (e.g. `AmazingWidgets`)
 1. Click save changes, we will come back to this page momentarily.
 1. Now add `/InfoDict` to the end  of the url in your browser (e.g. if the url was `https://docs.orchard.ox.ac.uk/Software/AmazingWidgets` you would change this to `https://docs.orchard.ox.ac.uk/Software/AmazingWidgets/InfoDict`)
 1. Create this page from the template `Software/InfoDictTemplate`
    * Fill in the details from the pkginfo file
