Bearing in mind the proposal that we put together for the Geonetwork docs, maybe we should think about how we can use your enthusiasm and the fact that you're planning to adopt it. One option would be for you to help identify gaps, and perhaps get into the habit of submitting them as issues in the github project and then possibly even look at fixing some of them. For example, if there's a problem where you would generally go to the mailing list for help- is that somewhere we need to consider more/better documentation?</div><div><br></div><div>All the best</div><div><br></div><div>Jo</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, May 4, 2019 at 6:54 AM Johanna Botman <<a href="mailto:johanna@jbotman.com" target="_blank">johanna@jbotman.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-AU"><div class="gmail-m_-1748520752301838716gmail-m_1331013979605935191WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Hi All,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>My level of experience with GRASS and GeoNetwork is low.

All going well, many hopeful technical writers will be vying to help OSGeoLive / QGIS / GeoNetwork documenting. I'm a bit nervous about how we will select the best - but more on that in another thread.<br>><br>> Each of you have indicated your interest in "being mentored" in writing docs, probably for QGIS. Are you still keen? I think that collectively you are "experts in being newbie QGIS writers". I'm hoping we can lean on this expertise to help set the direction for the focus of the Season Of Docs writing initiative.<br>><br>> I'm thinking it would be really valuable for each of you try fixing something in the QGIS docs in the next few weeks? Do you have the bandwidth to take that on? Andrew has already gone through the process and hopefully he won't mind me dobbing him in to answer questions?<br>><br>> Cheers,<br>><br>> --<br>> Cameron Shorter<br>> Technology Demystifier<br>> Open Technologies and Geospatial Consultant<br>><br>> M +61 (0) 419 142 254<br>><br>-- <br>Cameron Shorter<br>Technology Demystifier<br>Open Technologies and Geospatial Consultant<br><br>M +61 (0) 419 142 254<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>SeasonOfDocs mailing list<br><a href="mailto:SeasonOfDocs@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">SeasonOfDocs@lists.osgeo.org</a><br><a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/seasonofdocs" target="_blank">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/seasonofdocs</a><u></u><u></u></p></blockquote></div><p class="MsoNormal"><br clear="all"><u></u><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><p class="MsoNormal">-- <u></u><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">------------------------<br><a href="http://about.me/jocook" target="_blank">http://about.me/jocook</a><u></u><u></u></p></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail-m_-1748520752301838716gmail_signature">------------------------<br><a href="http://about.me/jocook" target="_blank">http://about.me/jocook</a></div>
