<p>I'm feeling pretty special to be amongst a bunch smart tech
writers who are keen create a "writing templates" project (and a
quite a bit more).</p>
<p>Here is what I suggest we do next:</p>
<p>1. Over the next few weeks, lets start discussions on this
<a class="gmail-m_1537661599493575641gmail-m_4499520644866931850moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:SeasonOfDocs@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">SeasonOfDocs@lists.osgeo.org</a> email list.</p>
<p>2. Between us, lets articulate our vision. I suggest we bounce
ideas around on this list, and start collecting them into a Google
doc that we collectively edit. I've been getting inspired by each
of you on what this vision might be. We should think big, but make
sure our first goals are very achievable.<br>
</p>
<p>3. Are there any existing projects which we should join instead
of starting our own? <br>

<p>Does anyone know the people behind these projects? We should
reach out to them. I'll be interested to hear thoughts on these
projects.</p>
<p>Lets discuss on email over the upcoming week. Next week, lets aim
to decide if we are to join an existing project or start our own.<br>
</p>
<p>4. I suggest we set up a meeting next week with those of us who
can make it. Maybe:</p>

<p>(I can do earlier or later.)<br>

<p>5. A few of you were wanting to get clarifications from your
organisations about open sourcing material. I suggest letting us
know how that progresses. This might help <a href="http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-open-business-business-case.html" target="_blank">http://cameronshorter.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-open-business-business-case.html</a></p>
<p>6. If we decide to start our own project, we will need to set up
web pages, project structure and so on. If we join an existing
project, we will likely need to help them do some of these things.
We can start in a week or two.</p>
<p>Okay, over to you. Please don't be shy - share your ideas and
suggestions, and lets get this vision nailed down.<br>
