Hi All,
I'm strongly thinking about getting involved in the Google Season of Docs
initiative, as OSGeo has applied to become an organisation. Cameron Shorter
is the main organiser, but I'd like to volunteer as a mentor. There's some
documentation here: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Season_Of_Docs_2019 (see
the Ideas page link for the best info).
I'd like to include Geonetwork in the projects to focus on- along with QGIS
and OSGeo:Live. Is that something you'd all be happy with? (In particular
the Steering Committee). If so, the first step will be to outline the
requirements, similar to:
QGIS Documentation
QGIS, a desktop GIS application, is one of the OSGeo Foundation’s flagship
projects. In February 2019 QGIS put out their long-awaited 3.4 Long Term
Release, which was a major update from the previous 2.18 version. As of
March 2019, the project’s documentation hasn’t fully updated been to the
new version. This is a great opportunity to:
* Help document a great project.
* Update older documentation.
* Tap into a very engaged community.
* Review against best writing practices and suggest improvements.
* Test best practice writing principles which can be exported and shared
with other open source projects.
Resources:
* QGIS Documentation
* QGIS Documentation Issues
* University-level lectures and labs, created by GeoAcademy (based on the
older QGIS 2.18)
Can you also let me know which list is best to discuss this on? I've posted
to both users and developers at the moment but maybe one is better than the
other?
Thanks
Jo
