  • Configuration guides (Geutebrueck, Heitel, Hanwha, etc.)
  • Audio implementation guides
  • Alarm configuration guides

File Organization​

All implemented documents follow the established structure:

classic/docs/
├── getting-started/
│   └── genesis-alarm-forwarding.md
├── admin-guide/
│   ├── user-management.md
│   └── talos-role-creation.md
├── troubleshooting/

Document Quality Standards​

All implemented documents include:

  • ✅ Proper frontmatter with title, description, tags, sidebar_position
  • ✅ Consistent markdown formatting
  • ✅ Proper heading hierarchy
  • ✅ Cross-references to related documentation
  • ✅ Tables, lists, and code blocks where appropriate
  • ✅ Callout boxes (info, warning, tip, important)
  • ✅ Related documentation links
  • ✅ Support contact information

Next Steps​

Phase 2: Remaining UTF8 Files (Priority: Medium)​

  1. Review remaining 7 UTF8 files
  2. Compare with existing documents
  3. Merge or enhance existing documents where appropriate
  4. Create new documents for unique content

Phase 3: PDF Files (Priority: Low)​

  1. Identify critical PDFs that need markdown conversion
  2. Extract text from selected PDFs
  3. Convert to markdown format
  4. Extract and organize images if needed
  5. Reference remaining PDFs as downloadable resources

Phase 4: Quality Assurance​

  1. Test all internal links
  2. Verify sidebar navigation
  3. Check for duplicate content
  4. Ensure consistent formatting
  5. Validate frontmatter

Statistics​

  • Total Files Reviewed: 47 files (32 PDFs + 15 UTF8)
  • UTF8 Files Converted: 8 of 15 (53%)
  • Documents Created: 8 new markdown files
  • Sidebar Entries Added: 8 new entries
  • Directories Updated: 4 (getting-started, admin-guide, troubleshooting, features)

Notes​

  • Some documents may overlap with existing content (e.g., NTP, redundancy, Talos overview)
  • Device integration guides should be placed in devices/[device-name]/ directories when implemented
  • Large PDFs (4+ MB) may be better served as downloadable resources
  • Some UTF8 files are very short and may be placeholders or excerpts

Conclusion​

Phase 1 implementation is complete with 8 critical documents successfully converted and integrated into the documentation site. The remaining UTF8 files and PDFs can be processed in subsequent phases based on priority and user needs.

All implemented documents are now accessible through the sidebar navigation and follow the established documentation standards.
