<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><br></div><div>One of my frequent <a href="http://addingunderstanding.com/2008/01/dreamweaver-vs-content-management-part-ii">rants</a> about the need for journalism schools to teach content management system resulted in a small class of upper division journalism students (8) in a class on content management systems. I'm signed up to help the instructor with the class and as a part of the class we want to find a way to have the students contribute to the community. </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>So I'm looking for ideas on how to have a small group of writers new to Drupal contribute to the project. I'd imagine these would be small (1-2 week) projects. I'm thinking small GHOP/DROP documentation style tasks</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Is there a list of or could folks recommend some high-value projects to have these folks work on?</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Since they may not be around long (of course I hope otherwise) is it better to have them work and post work in an issue and have a docteam member post? (And I'm happy to do that if it is the best approach).</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>It may be best to have these projects be more on the community/advocacy side of things as the writers may not be up to terribly technical writing/editing.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I'm guessing it will be late March or early April when this assignment would be given.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Any and all other ideas are greatly appreciated.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Josh</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></body></html>
