- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | Having up-to-date, cohesive documentation is an important part of any open-source software project. Good quality documentation saves users time; makes it easier for new users to install, understand, and use Evergreen; and minimizes duplication of effort. It is also an important factor when a library is considering implementing Evergreen. | + | |

- | We are also the home of a [[Drupal Web Portal | project]] to migrate the current Evergreen website to Drupal. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ===== Get involved ===== | + | |
- | Contributing to documentation is an excellent way to support Evergreen, even if you are a beginner. In fact, beginners often have a distinct advantage over the experts, more easily spotting the places where documentation is lacking or where it is unclear. We welcome your contribution with planning, writing, editing, testing, translating to DocBook, and other tasks. Whatever your background or experience we are keen to have your help! | + | |

- | ==== Future roles ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | We will be needing: | + | |
- | * **Writers**—Even with all the great documentation that currently exist, there are still aspects of Evergreen which have not been covered. | + | |
- | + | ||

- | + | ||

- | + | ||
- | * **Update Writers**—When updates to the software occur, we will need people to update the documentation to reflect the changes in the software. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | * **People to get permissions**—A lot of documentation has already been written. If you have rights to such material, granting DIG permission to adapt these for the project is a huge benefit. Likewise, if you are aware of existing documentation, | + | |
