[mapserver-dev] Proposal to form a documentation steering committee...

[Steve Lime]

We discussed this in passing a while back and I'd like to move it forward if there's still
interest. I think an organized group of folks focused on just documentation would be
a good idea. They would work under the PSC but could be relatively autonomous. I
see the group being made up of regular users- not devs unless there is interest. We
could ping the mapserver-users list for volunteers. The group could take on issues
such as:

  - identifying and prioritizing documentation needs
  - organizing multilingual docs (hence a multilingual committee)
  - soliciting and coordinating the creation of documents
  - ownership of the website
  - migration of documents from the trac wiki to the website

If folks think this is a good idea then the first step would be to identify a chair for the
group and then perhaps draft a basic RFC that outlines responsibilities, relationship to
the PSC, etc... I'd be happy to participate as a member but don't want to lead the effort. 

Any volunteers?
