New Doc Volunteer

Hi, 

 

I've just joined the Documentation mailing list. My name is Yuko, a
technical writer living in Australia. 

My specialised area for writing is software, hardware, general topics, etc.

 

I have not learned much about this volunteer activities, but I would be
interested in:

 

.  Write or update documentation

.  Maintain the website and develop new materials

 

Since I'm new,  I would be grateful if I could receive some advice to get
started.

 

Warm regards,

Yuko

I think dev being the main list of the community is recommended but really  
this one is enough if documentation is all you will be contributing to.

You are entirely welcome Yuko. It would be a good idea to just forward
the intro you sent to the dev list here. Though many of us are members
of both lists, many also are not. We very much need the skills of
someone who has done technical writing. I am a manufacturing engineer by
profession who happens to have done standards writing and editing for
the company I worked for. I am by no means an experienced technical writer.

Keith

Thank you for your welcome message, Keith.

One question--as the "Introduction to Contributing to Apache OpenOffice" page, do I need to introduce myself to dev@openoffice.apache.org even after I already did to doc@openoffice.apache.org?

Kind regards,
Yuko

Yuko;

Welcome to the Apache OpenOffice documentation list. I would direct you to the following page for more information on volunteering and areas available. http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html.

The level 1 and level 2 pages will give you a good overview of how Apache works and the various technical infrastructure we have. The level
3 page http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-doc.html will give you more information on the documentation team and the areas that we cover.

This list is where questions and discussion on all things documentation happen so please come back often and ask questions or let us know what you would like to work on.

For more information on website maintenance and development I would suggest that you subscribe send an inquiry to the development mailing list as most of the volunteers that do that work are most likely to be found there. Many of them do monitor this list, but you will probably get a quicker response from the dev list. To subscribe send a blank e-mail to mailto:dev-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org and follow the instructions in the follow-up e-mail you will receive. To post to the list use the following address:mailto:dev@openoffice.apache.org.

Again welcome and I look forward to working with you.

Regards
Keith N. McKenna

Yuko;

Welcome to the Apache OpenOffice documentation list. I would direct you
to the following page for more information on volunteering and areas
available. http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html.

The level 1 and level 2 pages will give you a good overview of how
Apache works and the various technical infrastructure we have. The level
3 page http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-doc.html will give
you more information on the documentation team and the areas that we cover.

This list is where questions and discussion on all things documentation
happen so please come back often and ask questions or let us know what
you would like to work on.

For more information on website maintenance and development I would
suggest that you subscribe send an inquiry to the development mailing
list as most of the volunteers that do that work are most likely to be
found there. Many of them do monitor this list, but you will probably
get a quicker response from the dev list. To subscribe send a blank
