Notes:
* Dvoustrankovy uvod - co by to melo umet
* Analýza - co se rozhodneme delat, jak by se to dalo delat, pridelit dulezitost
- pak se da odkazat na to, proc jsme co nestihli, zahrnout i advanced featury
- odkazovat se u featur, ze to je v planu v pristich verzi - co je dulezite
a co ne!! Zduvodnit tim, jakou podmnozinu featur nechat, snaze se pak bude
popisovat architektura
* V analyze vysvetlit architekturu
* Related works nechat jako samostatnou kapitolu
* Poradi - pozadavky -> related works -> analyza
* Provazani komponent musi rozumet administrator a tvurce ulohy - obecna
kapitola v analyze - puvodni kapitola o analyze byla povedena, jen se tam
micha seznam zprav nebo co - to nezajima vsechny
* Po obecnym uvodu - rozdelit podle potencialniho ctenare - uzivatel ucitel, pak
uzivatel admin
* Instalacni dokumentace stranou, jako posledni
* Uzivatelaka dokumentace - admin: popis prav, autor uloh: nejobsahlejsi, format
skriptu - ale formulovat tak, ze bude popis na co kde kliknout, jazyk popsat
separatne - v budoucnu to bude irelevantni, je potreba daleko hloubeji - je
treba popsat detailne co eelaji, i treba relativni/absolutni adresy, makra,
kde vidi prekladac knihovny a headery... - kapitola na konci
* Uzivatelska dokumentace pro studenta: vysvetleni
* Jak se boduje uloha - tezko rict, kam to patri - nekde na zacatku? Ale zajima
to vsechny role, ucitel musi vedet, jak to nakonfigurovat - zminit treba i jak
bodovat podle casu a pameti (v analyze nebo v uvodu) - vice vystupu od judge,
interpolace bodu podle vyuziti pameti... je to spis mimo uživatelskou
* Nepsat kde na jake tlacitko kliknout
* Tutorialy - scenare, co udelat kdyz chci neco, vzorove pruchody
* U formularu je nejlepsi kdyz zadna dokumentace neni, doplnit popisky k polim
formularu
* V dokumentaci popsat konfigy nekde separatne - skore, yaml - referencni
dokumentace
* Urcite ne FAQ, vic strukturovane
* Instalaci dohromady na konec
* Programatorska dokumentace - "nejmene ctenaru" - neco uz tam mame, neni to
treba davat do tistene dokumentace - do tistene dokumentace dat odkaz na wiki,
neco v tistene ale byt musi - jaky jazyk, designové rozhodnutí - zdůvodnění
nedávat do úvodní analýzy - k referencnim dokumentacim udelat uvod - "restove
API jsme pojali timto zpusobem, deli se to na tyto skupiny, ..."
* Co zvolena architektura znamena, neco to ma dat i uzivateli, ktery
architekturu nezna, kde je drzenej stav
* Z dokumentace musi byt patrne, co dela knihovna a co se musi udelat rucne -
kolik je to prace - psat to vic pro uzivatele, ktery zna technologie, nezna
knihovny
* Mit soucit s tema, ktery to toho tolik neznaji - jak technologie, tak
architekturu a system CodExu
* Nesedi cisla stranek
* Stazeni ZIPu s vystupy Backendu - roztridit na verejne a tajne, verejne i pro
