How these docs are organised

These docs use BookStack's four levels. Each level has one job.

Level Used for Example
Shelf A broad area of oiv.ae Mirrors
Book One product, service or programme mirrors.oiv.ae
Chapter A group of related tasks inside a book Use the mirror
Page One task or one topic, readable in a few minutes OPNsense

Shelves

  • oiv.ae: what the project is and how to take part.
  • Mirrors: using and running mirrors.oiv.ae.
  • Community: guides, events and Arabic localisation.
  • Brand and design: the oiv.ae logo, colour and type, and how the site applies the UAE Design System.

Writing conventions

  • Page titles say what the reader will do or learn: "Use the mirror with openSUSE", not "openSUSE".
  • Start each page with one or two sentences on what it covers. The page title is already shown as the heading, so body sections start at Heading 2.
  • Put commands in code blocks, one command per line, so they can be copied.
  • Mark unfinished pages with a yellow warning callout that says "Draft outline".
  • Tag pages with Section, Topic, Distro and Audience where they apply, so search filters work.
