Adopt a FAQcat

[denise]

So, docs! I know it's been sadly neglected over the past few months. matgb will be stepping in to give things a hand over time, but he's suffering from Life Explosion right now and hasn't gotten a chance to really get up to speed.

What I'd like to do, in preparation for a big Docs Push in second quarter or so, is "adopt out" each of our FAQ categories: have people claim them to work on updating existing FAQs and identifying gaps in each FAQ category for FAQs that need to be written. The categories are:

About Us: dilate_andrea
Your Account: silk_spectre
Journal Entries: sofiaviolet and silverflight8
Comments: dragonfly and levini
Comment Security
Journal Styles
Your Profile: katieastrophe
User Icons: delladea
Communities
Managing Communities
Relationships
Notifications
Organizing

Explore
Site Options
Current Issues: domtheknight
Conflicts With Other Users: (this should be done by me and the Terms of Service team)
Miscellaneous


Cat wranglers (cat herders?) would:

* Read over each FAQ in the category and revise them for style, prose flow, and accuracy.

* Add any new material needed, such as things DW has developed since the last revision.

* Identify any new FAQs needed and file bugs in Bugzilla for them to be written. (Or write them yourself!)

You would need to have strong writing skills and a good knowledge of how DW works. (You don't have to be a DW master, but you should be willing to explore and poke at things, and to read back over old code tours in dw_dev to see what's changed and what needs to be documented.) At first, you'll post your revised versions here to dw_docs; over time, once you get more established, we can give you the ability to edit the FAQs on the live site yourself. Be sure to read the Manual of Style!

If you want to adopt a FAQcat, comment here with the category you're interested in. If you and a friend want to work together on a single cat, that's fine -- just work it out amongst yourselves and let me know.

I don't think I can take on an entire cat, but I would be happy to assist someone else, or to just have random FAQs flung in my direction to be rewritten. :)

[domtheknight]

I can make some time to go over Current Issues. I know we haven't done that recently in Support but since it's sort of our cat we should.

I've no specific cat in mind, but I'm happy to tag along on someone else's, or try to take one that is leftover at the end.
