Something like mizmo wonderfull idea to engage more active contributors. Around concrete and not-so-scary design tasks: Docs tasks at this group, of course. Maybe a specific Beat, or pages marked as "need love" (again, not so scary). And guiding them through the process of making a successfull contribution, getting more confident contributors to commit later bigger tasks. As "eating my own dogfood", i want to ask someone interested in mentoring "me" (remember, i'm kinda sort of first test pilot on this idea). I'm actually an active translator on the wiki and at a few guides. But i'd like: 1: to help at Docs project to reorganize the pages under its scope * Maybe marking at first place as "Old-for archive" really not very useful at this very moment. I talked a few weeks ago with jjmcd about jumping on this train, but i think i need a most slow approach, and maybe there is not much time until after release party. 2: Starting *some* guides for digital literacy. * I talked with Rudi about an idea we are talking on Fedora LATAM: Escuela Fedora. As #fedora-classroom it's an idea for teaching new skills to contributors, but there is a real need for more outreach as Máirín show us with her projects this year teaching Inkscape and GIMP. A guatemalan Ambassador: Edna Rheinier, and Damaris Trujillo, have teached too high school girls, on Inkscape and Gimp and gived talks about women in free software and Fedora Project, of course. * We have too, some wonderful ideas on TOSS (on collaboration on real world in free software projects) by K. Wade and Greg DeKoenigsberg, P2PU ("peer to peer university") and CollabOERation. It's hard to outline a full book, but i think i'll be ready at this weekend to show a first draft of chapters and the first chapter. Said this, i'd like to document the mentoring process if someone wants to help, from having the initial idea, upto getting an usable book, ready for translation. This would make too "raw data" for a first course about "Fedora writer first steps" as we are talinkg too at Fedora LATAM. And a potential first course on future Escuela Fedora project. I think will i need to apply to docs-writer group in FAS, and docs-publishers when i've accomplished the first version, right? ---- In summary, i think a Documentation Challenge could be a good compromise between having a docs group "invite only" (having sponsored the in by his/her mentor at real), and being open and getting best documented our processes. Let me know what do you think, if you'd like to be "my" mentor (you know, documenting publicly the whole process), just drop me a dent @tzk on identi.ca if you have a little bit of time. Thanks in advance, and peace for all. Jesús Franco Translator and Ambassador http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Tezcatl P.S. I cc'ed this message to Karsten Wade with my apologies for not getting in touch for edusol summit. A quick look at my wiki page could tell you why that project failed since they don't wanna anything to do at this moment, with OpenSource projects, sadly. -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
