Current status
Updated Dronecode site is being prototyped.
The site will continue to hold information about membership but will additionally become a hub for information about working with the platform/projects, and for getting hold of source code, roadmap information and documentation.
Site will be migrating from Drupal to WordPress in coming months, and we will have much greater control over content.
Working Group wiki pages.
Working Group monthly updates.
We have decided to use the DC blog as the mechanism for publishing project updates (accomplishments, challenges, future plans).
A template has been created and a number of updates have been posted.
We hope to get all WG Leads posting in the coming months.
The PX4 User Guide is being migrated to Gitbook
Create a compelling and unified Dronecode platform story
We have started to look at options to roll out across project sites, including common fonts/headers, footers, some common menus and branding elements.
Open issues
We are working through open issues. None are reported here, because nothing is “blocking”, just not discussed yet.
