[Geoserver-devel] 2024 roadmap - wiki pages

Good day GeoServer users

Here’s a quick update to the effort coordination for the 2024 roadmap. Thank you to the few individuals who have responded with offers of assistance.

The 9 tasks have been broken up into individual wiki pages, all linked from https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Maintenance-%26-Roadmap#2024-roadmap. Please take a look at them, see which ones interest you and your company the most, and put your name down to assist**

One current task that I would like to highlight is the effort by Jody (GeoCat) to migrate all the brilliant GeoServer documentation (that you reference every week!) from sphinx to mkdocs: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Migrate-documentation-to-mkdocs

He has now asked for users to compare the old documentation to the new documentation (preview found here: https://jodygarnett.github.io/geoserver/) and to let us know if there are any glaring issues, like broken links or elements that are not properly rendered. He has done a fantastic job so far of automating the migration, but we need your eyes on the new documentation, please, for the final acceptance.

This is something that you can all get involved in!

** How to make a wiki edit
Hmm, we’re working on that. For now, please just reply by email with your offer to help.

** How to report an issue with mkdocs

If you have a GitHub account, make a detailed comment in the pull request: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/7429
If you don’t have a GitHub account, we would love you to make one, so that you can contribute more easily: https://github.com/signup (3 minutes, plus it is visually fun!)
If you really don’t want to sign up, you can reply publically (preferably not privately) and I will capture your feedback in the pull request for you.

Thanks for your time!
