[documentation] Mini-project/task documentation ideas

[Joshua Brauer]

One of my frequent rants 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.

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

Is there a list of or could folks recommend some high-value projects  
to have these folks work on?

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).

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.

I'm guessing it will be late March or early April when this assignment  
would be given.

Any and all other ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh
