Re: contributing to Apache
Hey Peter,
Thank you for the reply. I think as of now a good place to start is
documentation. Is there an area I can start? I am going to take a look
again at the Apache website.
Take care,
Ramtin

Re: contributing to Apache
Posted by Peter Kovacs <Pe...@Apache.org>.
There is no reason to apologize. It is all fine good. We have the tool
for communicating. Which is very important to do.
Where are you looking at? https://wiki.openoffice.org is our Mediawiki.
( short Mwiki).
We have also a Confluence Wiki (short Cwiki)
We have a static Webside.
I am not aware that we have a plan where to go. So maybe start with
making a plan and introduce it to us on the dev Mailiing list (short: @dev)
Or does anyone have a plan what there is to do with the Documentation?
(Except the technical migration see other thread: [1] and [2]
All the Best
Peter
