[Qgis-community-team] New QGIS Documentation Subscriber

[DelazJ]

Hi,

Welcome Angie and thanks for offering your help!

As already pointed out by Richard you'll find few recommendations to follow
when contributing to QGIS Documentation writing at
http://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/documentation_guidelines/
But prior to this, In order to contribute, you'll need as stated at
http://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/document.html#becoming-a-documenter  to:
- create a GitHub account
- and fork (copy) the doc repo

Once done, feel free to pick any issue in the list and write about. You can
also go through the doc being written (docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs) and
fix potential typo errors, "bad english" (most of us are not native
speaker) or review/comment contributions of others (
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/pulls).

Once again, welcome to you and if something is unclear, just ask. Someone
will try to explain to you.

Regards,
Harrissou
