Hi Matt,
For ticket #343, I can put the developer documentation with all the other Guilty Sparks (haha?) of developer documentation: http://yt-project.org/docs/2.2/advanced/developing.html , even if those get moved around (maybe to top level?)
Sounds good. Yes, I think the developer docs will be top level, and I think they should be farily prominant, since a LOT of yt will always remain buried in the source for hte simple reason that there is so much of it and so few of us. What we really need is a lifeline for motivated people who are generally unafraid of source but unsure of where to begin with yt. I will help out with this in the coming days.
For ticket #333, I am at a loss. The cookbook idea in the comments is good, so I will add a cookbook recipe, but where would a description of these go inside the narrative docs? The best place under "Analyzing" seems to be http://yt-project.org/docs/2.2/analyzing/objects.html but I think these are a bit advanced for that. Ideas?
Please send me a link to the code, or perhaps someone with more knowledge of how the isocontouring works and what it is good for can jump in. I'm not sure how to fit it in to docs until I know what it does.
For ticket #334, I think we need a whole new section on how to deal with fields that are on disk and that are derived. This would probably have to include "How does yt read in a data file, what does it do when it finds a field on disk, how can you control this behavior" and so on. Where should this go? Should I write the whole thing, or will someone work through it a bit with me?
This would go under "Using and Manipulating Objects and Fields", and I tihnk it is quite important. I think we need to do a better job of pushing the basic ideas about how yt understands and works with data objects in a generic fasion. I'd be happy to help write/rewrite this section.
For ticket #336, I am at a loss for where and why this would be documented besides "RAMSES data loading now works correctly in parallel." Should this section be reworked? http://yt-project.org/docs/2.2/analyzing/loading_data.html
Hmm. I agree with you here. I think just "RAMSES data loading now works in parallel" in the release notes should be fine. j
