That would be great.
Would anyone on the PMC object to us having a go at this?
Does anyone have any strongly held beliefs about this section that they
want to convey before we start?

Sounds good
I guess that we can use Skype and share screens.
If more want to join, we will switch to a collaboration tool.

Hi Ron
OK it looks like it's just us. Let's go for Wednesday 13th at 3pm CET (so
should be 9am for you) and if we need more time we can use the Thursday too.

Both days are ok for me.
I am also on Skype and can arrange a meeting with Saba Meeting if we
want to share screens.
Anyone else want to join us?

Hi Ron
I'm in Prague and my timezone is Central European Time (CET) so I think you
are 6 hours behind me.
I’m available this week on Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th August from 3pm
to 5pm (which I think should be 9am – 11am for you).
Will this work for you?
I’m on Skype too so we could do this as a Skype call/meeting.
Thanks

Yes.
If anyone wants to join this meeting, please indicate your timezone so
that we can schedule a time.
I am in Montreal which is Easter daylight Time (EST) at the moment.

Hi Ron
Just thinking about how we can work together on this.
I think it might be good for us to get together offline to put together a
plan for starting this update. We can then see what we can do and where we
might need additional input. We could then post updates or request feedback
/ help etc using this thread.
What do you think?
Thanks

It is a volunteer job that has to have an appropriate priority.
It will take a lot of participation from the developers to let us know
what is accurate and where the documentation needs attention.
I can fix typos, grammar errors and convoluted phrasing but I can not
make up stuff.
There may also have to be new stuff written by the people who wrote the
code.

That's great,
Obviously you have both (Sharan an Ron) good writing skills and practice, so we can expect a better documentation :)
I can help also, though being quite busy at the moment, I will certainly only lurk and jump in if necessary

It's hard to decide in advance if a stuff will or will not be maintained. On the other hand there are plenty of stuff witch are deprecated, wrong,
void (some place holder pages which has never been completed, easy to guess with creation dates), etc.
So before taking hard decisions we should before take easy actions by removing such dust. Like you would 1st remove big files when looking for place
on a disk...

In my view, getting rid of stuff that is not going to be maintained
would be a big help to new users.
It might also encourage others to participate in maintaining the docs.
