don't you start by sending a brief email to this list to introduce
yourself:</p>
<p>Who are you? What is your interest in TheGoodDocsProject? How
would you like to be involved?<br>

<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>

<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>

which we should join instead of starting
our own? <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>
