I can help.
I have been using CentOS for a long time. Somewhere pre-2000 I think I moved my main client from SCO to Linux. I remember starting with Mandrake but not sure when I moved them to CentOS.

I am SysOp (and a lot of other things) for a small in-house ISP (web sites, email, nexus, svn, DNS) and am setting up a microserves app using Spring, Consul, Keycloak, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.

One of my projects is to get Centos running on a rack of raspberry Pis to replace all my existing servers.

I don't get involved with OS internals but can help with a System Administration POV and a love for fixing English text.
I can read and write a bit of French but probably not enough to be useful.

I don't have a lot of free time but can probably find a few hours a month.

Hi, I only spotted this now. I'm definitely interested and we should keep docs.centos.org looped in as part of the SIG.

I left docs.centos out of it simply because I have no insight into how that is created. If you do, then *welcome aboard!!!*

Hi, folks,

I've been working through the CentOS wiki for more than a year now, trying to identify and fix outdated/wrong/obsolete content. It's a daunting task, and I'm losing.

I would very much like to gather a group of people who are:

* Knowledgeable about CentOS
* Good with words
* Have a little time

who would be willing and able to review the content of the wiki, and fix the bits that are incorrect.

The CentOS Documentation SIG (which doesn't actually exist in any meaningful way) is, according to the wiki:

responsible for the content of the Wiki, and other public sources of documentation. This includes, but is not limited to:

* Determining, and imposing, a hierarchy/architecture of content in the wiki
* Editing/pruning existing content when it is incorrect/outdated/obsolete
* Recruiting subject matter experts to do some of that editing
* Recruiting translators to keep our various translations in sync

[Ref: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Documentation ]

If any of the above appeals to you, I would ask you to let me know. I would like to create a SIG around the wiki. Please let me know if you're interested. I know that there are a number of you who are consistently active on this list. I would like to find a way to give us a little more power/authority over the wiki to make higher-level editorial decisions about information architecture. Also, having a formal SIG might be a way to engage more people to join the effort and dedicate some time to it.
