Ladies and Gentlemen, If you haven't heard already, we are doing a documentation weekend/sprint from November 8th to November 10th. *What is the sprint/weekend about?* Write documentation about anything that is related to elementary! Here is an example of what we mean[1]. We need both development documentation as well as user-oriented stuff. In fact, we hope that we can integrate a lot of the written stuff into the User Guide/Developer Section. *Who can attend?* Everyone! *Need ideas?* See [2]. *I have a new idea* If you found something else that you would like to have some documentation about, just add it to [2] (anyone can edit this document). *Do I need to use any special software?* You can use whatever you want. I recommend Google Docs and similar services but you can also just use a text editor and www.pastebin.com. Either way, just make sure that you add yourself to the document [2] or mail your entry to this thread in the mailing list. *Under what license am I supposed to release my documentation?* CC-BY, read this for more information: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ To license your work you need to add this note to the end of the document (see [1] for an example): """ This work is licensed under a CC-BY-license, for more information see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ """ It's important that you apply this license to your document so that we can integrate it into the User Guide, so please don't forget about it. *Any questions left?* You can reply to this email or you use IRC via our webchat ( http://elementaryos.org/developer/chat ). You're obviously free to fire up your IRC client and connect to: irc.freenode.net and join #elementary-dev. We will probably not answer instantly, so be patient. Alternatively, you can ping me personally using my nickname teemperor (Munchor also enjoys being pinged all day long). -- Raphael "Teemperor" Isemann [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W61JhA5GR6GH0iSc2brAVjCF_Xh-gpN6blqCkv3vaCo/edit [2] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wFTYGaP9RR5JwT4qQfix84-TfeFaDNX9iFviVtuCAi4/edit
