I am Cynthia Anyango from Nairobi, Kenya. I am a second year student at Maseno University. I am currently specializing on Ruby on Rails and trying to learn Python. I recently started contributing to Open source projects.My major contribution was at Mozilla, where I worked with the QA for Cloud services. I did manual and automated tests for various cloud services. I wrote documentation too. Above that, I am competent and I am always passionate about what I get my hands on.

Currently Jenkins plugin documentation is being stored in Confluence. Sometimes the documentation is scattered and outdated. In order to improve the situation we would like to follow the documentation-as-code approach and to put docs to plugin repositories and then publish them on the project website using the awestruct engine. The project aims an implementation of a documentation continuous deployment flow powered by Jenkins and Pipeline Plugin.

The idea is to automatically pull in the README and other docs from GitHub, show changelogs with versions and releases dates. I will be designing file templates that will contain most of the docs information that will be required from plugin developers. Initially the files will be written in AsciiDoc. Plugin developers will get a chance to review the templates. The templates will be prototyped by various plugin developers.

The docs that will be automatically pulled from github and will be published on Jenkins.io under the Documentation section.

My mentors are R.Tyler and Baptiste Mathus

I hope to achieve this by 25th June when we will be having our mid-term evaluations.

I will update more on the progress.
