I an instructor at what we in Australia call a TAFE college, I believe a "community college" is the US equivalent (vocational education).
My students are mostly all young adults of school-leaver age studying IT networking and sysadmin at roughly the RHCSA/RHCE level.
I'm wondering how feasible/useful it could be to get my students involved in helping out with Fedora documentation. We use Fedora and CentOS in our labs, and we study units that cover working with and contributing to open source projects. So the potential is certainly there.

Students could sign up to the Fedora documentation project and, at the very least, check and sign off on doc content. I'd be double checking things of course.
These units are coming up in Oct/Nov/Dec 2019. Any comments, advice or further questions about the general idea?
What about the idea of extending student involvement into tackling minor bugs and/or maintaining a package or two? Again, any comments, ideas or advice welcome.

I'd love that too!

Our docs are standardized on asciidoc. It's not unfamiliar if you're used to
markdown, but has more sophisticated options tailored for documentation.
