<p>Hi Jo,</p>
<p>Great to have you on board and good to hear about the interest
from the GeoNework community. <br>
</p>
<p>For next steps:</p>
<p>* Thanks for adding your name to: <a
href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Season_of_Docs_Ideas_2019#Key_roles_sought">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Season_of_Docs_Ideas_2019#Key_roles_sought</a></p>
<p>* I'd suggest it would help our proposal to have at least one
other person from GeoNetwork community put their name forward to
act as a mentor. (Google is asking for at least 2 mentors per
senior writer provided. Mentors can be technical rather than
writers).</p>
<p>* With regards to documentation ideas for GeoNetwork, we will
need to write them down in a public location (ie here: <a
href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Season_of_Docs_Ideas_2019#Ideas">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Season_of_Docs_Ideas_2019#Ideas</a>
) I think we can build these ideas into something compelling, but
I think they need to be defined more clearly if we are to be taken
seriously. Item 3 sounds the most compelling. Tutorials are a
relatively difficult writing concept, and can also be addressed
relatively autonomously. It can also be done in line with a
template which we develop in conjunction with QGIS and OSGeoLive.
Is someone in a position to explain the gap between what is
currently in place and what is needed for GeoNetwork?</p>
<p>Item 2) "Fix incomplete docs" could be a task, but it needs to be
quantified and described.</p>
<p>Item 1) "Review pull requests" sounds quite unstructured and
wouldn't be making best use of the time of a Senior Technical
Writer. It would also be difficult to qualify whether the writer
has completed their tasks or done a good job. <br>
</p>
<p>Warm regards, Cameron<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I can confirm that I have had a positive response back from
the Geonetwork team about participating in this. If that's
something we want to pursue, they would like to take the
following approach:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) Review recent Pull Requests for UI and new features and
check that they are documented in the existing documentation</div>
<div>2) Complete any areas of documentation that are incomplete
(there are some placeholder pages and areas that say TBD)</div>
<div>3) Improve or create basic tutorials on how to use standard
features, and separate existing tutorials into sections for
usage, application development and so on (this is not
currently done).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does this fit with what we want to do with Season of Docs?
I will also tentatively put myself forward as the second
mentor if no one with more experience steps up- I have never
participated in a google project of any kind before.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards</div>

<p>I've gone through the Season of Docs application form,
and have filled out answers, but not submitted.</p>

<p>There are some uncompleted answers, in particular around
finding a second mentor (who is up to volunteer?), and
describing OSGeo's prior mentor experience (search for
TBC).<br>
