Big thanks to you and all the PSC. I have a lot of frustration about
documentation as I don't have as much time as I would like for
working on this. I really want to improve this but for now this call
for contributors is warmly welcome! Unfortunately, I can't go to the
next hackfest (I have a "customer" sprint plus a QGIS training at
the same time).<br>
<br>
About your article, we have also a documentation for doc writer that
could help new contributors
(<a class="m_6780749767048525892moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://docs.qgis.org/2.18/en/docs/documentation_guidelines/" target="_blank">http://docs.qgis.org/2.18/en/<wbr>docs/documentation_guidelines/</a><wbr>). Here
a proposition:<br>
<br>
If you need some help how to start, you can read the
<link>documentation for contributors</link>. You can
also contact the team for custom help (link to community mailing
list).

<div>Hi Tim,<br>
</div>
Thanks for this draft. Some first thoughts:<br>
</div>
<div>- When mentioning the "Sphinx based documentation",
maybe could we add link to documentation guidelines<br>
</div>
- we could also mention that there some issue reports that
are tagged "easy" to lower the barrier for beginners (if
needed). Btw, it could be nice if some doc team members
could review the list and check whether there could be more
"easy"-tagged issues (I tried but i don't know all the areas
of QGIS, hence can't always evaluate whether an issue is
easy to fix or not).<br>
</div>
<div>- I saw a call recently (from Alexandre?) arguing that
writing doc is a good way to learn new features. Maybe we
could also use that argument to show them other nice side of
writing.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sorry to just come with "suggestions" instead of
"rewriting".<br>
</div>
<div><br>

Regards,<br>

<div>I have drafted a blog article to try to get more
documentation help in for the QGIS 3.0 release. Could
you guys review it and let me know if there is anything
else you would like to add / change (text below).</div>
<div><br>

<div>Also just a reminder that there is budget for
supporting documentation - please use it if you can
think of ways that money will productively improve and
streamline the documentation process. Andreas can

<div>Documentation for QGIS 3.0 - call for contributions!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><p>Dear QGIS users, enthusiasts and fine people out
there. QGIS 3.0 is coming very soon....we are in a
'soft freeze' state at the moment while we wait for
some critical last pieces of code to get finalised.
Then we go into hard freeze and prepare to roll out
our next major release. Those of you that have been
playing with the '2.99' builds will surely have
noticed that QGIS 3.0 is going to feature a huge
number of improvements and new features - both in the
user interface and in the API and code internals.</p><p style="text-align:center">But we have a <strong style="font-size:4em">BIG</strong> problem:<br>
we need your <strong style="font-size:4em">help</strong>
to document and <strong style="font-size:4em">describe</strong>
all those fine new <strong style="font-size:4em">features!</strong></p><p>Yes fine reader now is the time to break out of the
'passive user of QGIS' mould you might find yourself
in and lend a hand. We have an issue tracker with an <a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3A%22QGIS+3.0%22" target="_blank">issue for
each of the new features</a> that has landed in QGIS
3.0. Even if you do not know how to use our Sphinx
based documentation system, you can help tremendously
by preparing the prose that should be used to describe
new features and attaching it to the issue list linked
to above. If you do that, the documentation team can
do more editorial work and less 'writing from
scratch' work. If you want to see the <a href="http://docs.qgis.org/2.18/en/docs/user_manual/" target="_blank">QGIS
Documentation</a> up-to-date for the version 3.0
release, please do get involved and help Yves Jacolin
and the documentation team!</p>
