I think that help in the maintenance of the Installation Guide would be deeply appreciated. It requires: - a good understanding of how D-I is working - ability to reproduce the parts of the install that are documented (to check if the dpocumentation is still accurate) - good English skills - a constant monitoring of what's going on about D-I development so that you can check whether this or that new feature needs documentation (and then shake us to write it....or, as last option, writing it) - doing some regular tests to build the installation guide - interact with translation teams when time comes to release a new version of the IG ....and a few more that I probably forget. In short, help would be appreciated for this, certainly. Samuel Thibault is doing a fine job keeping an eye on the IG but it would be good if we could find a dedicated person. We certainly wouldn't leave you alone with that and you can easily get involved gradually (proofreading the installation guide, check whether all parts are still relevant...or if some parts of the install process need more documentation, etc.) From your fair description of what you can bring in, Francis, I think this fits you well...
