How to Contribute Web Content

Zenoss maintains a user's guide and various other documentation. However, submissions and feedback from our users is always welcome. Please read below to discover the best methods for submitting documentation and giving feedback.

FAQS and HowTos

All Zenoss FAQs and HowTos are publicly editable, but they do require that you log in to the community portal first. Then you will see a number of menu options on the top of the page, on a page you wish to edit you will choose edit from menu.

This will open the page in a WYSIWYG editor and you can edit the page using the options available in the editor. When finished hit save at the bottom of the page. If you choose not to save your changes and wish to exit choose cancel.

You can also add a new page in the FAQs and HowTos sections. If you are logged in, you can go to the FAQs or HowTos folders, and click Add Item from the actions above the page. You can then add one of the following:

• Folder: If you wish to organize multiple pages on a similar topic
  
• Image: To upload an image file
• Link: To list a weblink and description
• Page: Standard page which uses the Kupu rich text editor
• Wiki page: A page allowing editing in multiple wiki formats

Styles

The dropdown list of styles in the Kupu editor provides an easy way to use the main styles that would be needed in editing or authoring a document. If you want to add a heading for a main section, for example, you would type the section name in the Kupu editor, highlight the text, and then select "Section title" from the style drop down on the top left of Kupu:

Our goal is to provide intelligently written documentation that's easy to understand. We will try to add style recommendations in the future but in the meantime please look at the Wikipedia Manual of Style for writing conventions.
