Hi,

( It is when my plate is full that I add more in. :-) )

Google is announcing the Season of Docs.  Somehow, it is similar of
Google Summer of Code but for… wait for it… documentation!

https://opensource.googleblog.com/2024/02/announcing-google-season-of-docs-2024.html

I would like that the Guix project applies as an Organization.  Hence my
message.  Before jumping in the boring paperwork, the first questions
are:

 1. Who does volunteer for being potential mentor?
 2. Would one of you readers be interested by being technical writer?
 3. Any for improving the documentation?

Well, shoot any ideas for #3.  It will help in all cases. :-)

It can range from a one line idea to more elaborated idea; as shown here
[1, 2, 3].

Depending on the feedback, I will create a LibrePlanet webpage or else
and go further in the process. :-)

Last, keep in mind the deadline is less than 10 days from now.

Cheers,

Hi Simon,

I would absolutely be interested in actually writing documentation. I 
appear to be rapidly specializing as a technical writer and have long 
wanted to help write better documentation for Guix (and Guile, for that 
matter...). Reimbursement would allow me to set aside the time 
necessary to actually do it.

With the caveat that I may be doing other things at the same time 
(other grants or contracts or who knows; life is unpredictable), I 
would absolutely be interested in doing some actual writing. I don't 
have hard ideas about how to improve the docs so would be tapping folks 
for and accepting feedback.
