        This is Kyle Lobo, creator of <a
          href="https://github.com/kylelobo/The-Documentation-Compendium/"
          moz-do-not-send="true">The-Documentation-Compendium</a>. I've
        only recently been enlightened about TheGoodDocsProject and I'm
        excited to be a part of it. <br>
        <br>
        I've gone through all the mailing lists concerning the project,
        and while I am fully supportive of starting the project from
        scratch, one key benefit of joining and expanding my repo (or
        any other repo) would be that it has over 2,500 stars, 20,000
        views, and 8,000 unique visitors over the past month. Since my
        repo revolves around documentation templates & personal
        tips, these are people who visit the repo specifically for this
        purpose.<br>
        <br>
        This helps in getting a push from the get-go. The only drawback
        to this is the fact that currently my repo is very basic and
        lacks structure.</div>

                                          <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
