Re: [Discuss] Graduation ? next steps
Hi, Aaron et al. --
I'm heavily invested in VCL for two large production projects. I'm not a
developer, but I have extensive experience writing documentation and would
be happy to help in that regard.
Most of my recent technical writing is proprietary, but a couple years ago
I wrote a Moodle install doc that you could review here:

Mike

Hi Aaron,
No problem, I'm looking forward to this work! I submitted my contributor
agreement this morning to Apache and asked that they notify you.
If you're getting close to a 2.3 release, this will be a great time to
start developing and revising docs. We should probably set up a time to
talk offline...?
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
This is great. Thank you, thank you, thank you....
So the next steps (I think) are for you to file your ICLA.
Then we can discuss how we want the documentation and website to go.
Confluence is our current wiki, but that is fading. So we may want to
take this time to request a new CMS and start migrating. When we
graduate, we'll need to migrate anyway so might as well start thinking
about it now.

I'm all about good karma. I owe the VCL guys. Besides, I'm one of the
sick ones that actually ENJOY writing documentation. Don't judge me!
