stuff to paste from

• Join the Evergreen documentation listserv: http://list.georgialibraries.org/mailman/listinfo/open-ils-documentation. This is the primary way we communicate with each other. Please send an email introducing yourself to the list.
• Add yourself to the participant list if you have an Evergreen DokuWiki account, or send a request to docs@evergreen-ils.org.
• Review project resources.
• Edit current pages in the Documentation Wiki
  • To request an account for this wiki, email docs@evergreen-ils.org
• Check out the current task list and contact the relevant people if you see something you'd like to help out with.
  • You can find contact emails on the Participant list, or send a message on the listserv.

• Attend a DIG meeting.

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. Once we have finished our environmental scan, we'll be putting together a list of topics that need covering.

• Editors—We will need people to make sure that the documentation follows our forthcoming style guide and is clear and consistent.

• DocBook editors—We will need people to transfer existing documentation to DocBook.

• Test Drivers—We will also need people to take the documentation out for a test drive and make sure it’s accurate, thorough and makes sense.

• 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, convincing those with the rights to them to allow us to use them would also be useful.

• And more–It's a big project; we'll need help with things we haven't even thought of yet.

We generally meet every two weeks using GoToMeeting. Karen or Paul will set up the meeting and announce it to the listserv. It is not necessary to attend the meetings to be involved with DIG.
