Currently, it seems we have lots of interest in taking Drupal documentation in new and interesting directions.
Well, I was going to be nice and wait 24 hours so all our friends in Asia and Europe had a chance to respond. But why not take the best jobs while I can ;-)
Documentation teams for
* Restructuring/reorganizing each of the new handbook sections as defined on the V2 page:
I am happy to run refined card sorts or further documentation surveys to help with this effort.
For example, the About the handbook section. We need a couple of people to be in charge of our authoring guidelines and best practices for creating Drupal handbook documentation.
(Anisa spearheaded the style guide revision; perhaps we could coax her and one other person to handle the About the handbook section?)
Probably the number one thing on my list is helping to get 60+ module handbook pages going by working on that little section of the handbook guidelines. Here's my campaign speech: I am open to suggestions, and I work like a dog if you just want tell me how to do it right.
* Best practices for configuring and building Druapl sites (Roland has already volunteered for this one :) Is there another?)
I spend a lot of time building and tearing down sites so I'll be happy to edit or contribute my upgrading and navigation tutorials. I have also done some videos for analysis in the past. Sounds like we already have some leaders for this.
* Initiatives for improving the collaborative book and other technological solutions to improve Drupal documentation usability, integration, and creation.
I'd be happy to help with block and navigation suggestions for information architecture.
(Djun has already been working on this. Perhaps he'd like to be one of the team members. We'd only need one other volunteer then.)
Putting people in charge of specific areas seems to me the best way for us to get the things we want accomplished.
Woo-hoo! Let's get writing!
