<p>Notes:</p>
<p>* Swapnil has howto and tutorial templates in google docs. (See
link below)<br>
</p>
<p>* Paul noted that Jody Garnet has feedback for docs. (Cameron
notes that Jody has written excellent tech docs before, notably
writing one of the original OSGeoLive quickstarts). Paul plans to
incorporate doc prioritization to spreadsheet of docs.<br>
</p>
<p>* Swapnil will update spreadsheet of geonetwork docs with
categorisation of docs in next day.<br>
</p>
<p>* Aim is to now get people to test using these templates, then
get Swapnil to review. (This should be the most effective use of
Swapnil's time as a tech writer.) Paul said there was someone who
will work on it at GeoCat. Maria should work on get onto this in a
week or so. Hopefully Byron will be able to help too?</p>
<p>* Paul offered to send an email out to geonetwork email list
asking for more help.</p>
<p>* Jo mentioned someone who as reached out to her with a bunch of
doc updates to share. Jo will follow up and hopefully forward onto
Swapnil to action.</p>
<p>* Swapnil will also start writing howtos/tutorials as well.</p>
<p>* Meetings are now moved to every week, same time. Ask Jo if you
want to be invited to the meeting.<br>
</p>
<p>* We decided to move conversation to geonetwork email list.</p>
<p>* Jo/Paul discussed adding a Feedback form to docs. Swapnil
agreed this to be a good way to capture feedback.<br>

<p>Suggested email for Paul to send out to GeoNetwork email list:</p>

<p>GeoNetwork has one month left to make use of our Google Season of
Docs Technical Writer, Swapnil Ogale, and we want to make sure we
can make good use of his remaining time. (His wrap up week starts
24 Feb).</p>
<p>If you have some bandwidth - we'd love Swapnil's writing
experience to amplify your GeoNetwork doc experience.</p>
<p><b>Where to start:</b><br>
* Howto Template: <a
href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lSoAf9vDeuSvsF6snCDKsIvFpiSJV8_ouXs_ovrXWWA/edit">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lSoAf9vDeuSvsF6snCDKsIvFpiSJV8_ouXs_ovrXWWA/</a><br>
* Tutorial Template: <a
href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hMG2pcc-Dl0I_9ut7FUvNQxAu6Oe_qjh0QC61pv7lvI/edit#">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hMG2pcc-Dl0I_9ut7FUvNQxAu6Oe_qjh0QC61pv7lvI/</a><br>
* List of GeoNetwork Docs (and doc status): <a
href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l5FwIj5wpr7QUGsmVNJsvvK5KenMEhHmdL_svfeqDXk/edit?ouid=110542442124937335472&usp=sheets_home&ths=true">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l5FwIj5wpr7QUGsmVNJsvvK5KenMEhHmdL_svfeqDXk/edit?ouid=110542442124937335472&usp=sheets_home&ths=true</a></p>
<p>(Templates should be moved to git within next week and address
any feedback provided.)<br>
</p>
<p><b>You could:</b><br>
* Update an existing tutorial or howto (or write a new one) based
on templates above.<br>
* Provide track changes on a specific doc which needs improvement.
Doc updates can be provided in git or track changes in google docs
or similar. (We hope to add a Feedback form to our doc that can be
used soon.)<br>
* Confirm an existing howto or tutorial is still technically
correct.<br>
</p>
<p>You don't need to be an excellent writer - for the next month we
have a technical writer who can help with that.<br>
</p>
<p><b>How Swapnil will help us:</b><br>
* For next month, Swapnil will be reviewing howtos and quickstarts
we update and provide to him.<br>
