[documentation] Docs Team meetings/group was: Proposal for a "Contributing to Drupal" handbook section

[Shai Gluskin]

I vote for g.d.o as the main place for documentation strategizing to happen.
Of course specific action items should be posted to the issue
queue<http://drupal.org/project/documentation>
:

I vote for groups.drupal.org because:


   1. Those user pics really make a difference in my opinion. I want as
   many ways as possible to be reminded that my work sitting in front of a
   computer screen is actually me connecting with other human beings.
   2. Transparency. Though the listserve archive is searchable by search
   engines -- I think more people will wander by and get interested via
   g.d.o, than via the list serve.
   3. G.d.o email notification works great. So for those that need the
   "pull" of e-mail, g.d.o doesn't take that away.
   4. Wow, Panels in g.d.o. Cool stuff on the way, let's be a part of it.
