<p>We want to create a "best practices" guide
and associated suite of templates for creating
technical documentation for Open Source
Software projects (as our primary use case).
It will be almost directly applicable to all
software projects and we should aim to cater
for all software projects. It will be
reasonably applicable to broader technical
writing. While we should remain focused on our
core audience, we should consider writing our
documents such that they can be easily
customised and extended into other domains. <br>
</p>
<p>Borrowing from Open Government design
principles, we should "Do the hard work to
make things Simple".</p>

<p>Rather than each organisations attempting to
create their own writing guides, lets attract
the cross section of communication expertise
into one central community. Within our
community of communicators, we will debate and
decide upon best practices for a range of
documentation types.</p>
<p>We should capture a body of knowledge,
referencing the best research and guides we
can find. We should tailor components this
knowledge to specific user groups. We could
describe this as user stories. E.g.:<br>
</p>
<p>* As a software developer who needs to
document my project, I need a template, clear
writing instructions, and an example which I
can easily adapt of follow.</p>
<p>* As a documentarian reviewing a developer's
docs, I want guides and and checklists to
review against.</p>
<p>I our next doc down from the vision should
introduce the concept of a star rating for
docs. Huge value can be gifted to projects by
helping them get from the 1 star of "sort of
covered docs" to the 2 stars of having a
techie align docs with templates. This now
frees up tech writers to focus on the more
challenging tasks of polishing and tailoring
existing content.<br>

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>Lets discuss on email over the

<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

<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

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>
