Professional documentation help available for FREE
I read your web pages, and the closest thing to a contact for the debian
documentation project, which appears to need a wee bit of help, is this
mailing list.
I assume this is because of the anarchistic nature of Debian development.
However, I am a skilled technical documentation author/editor, with a
smidge of programming and formatting skills (formatting man pages is not
my thing, but if pointed in the right direction, I have a high degree of
confidence that I can figure it out).
And if it really needs to be said, I have a good comprehension of unix,
since I have used it since the early 80's, and hence have a strong
familiarity with the command line, operating system architecture,
hardware issues, etc.. I even know Fortran 4 and Snobol, if that is any
indication of how ancient I am.
In any case, a large number of Debian documentation projects seem to be
completely stagnant.
If you need assistance with one or more of these documentation areas,
email me.
I can produce copious amounts of highly readable documentation in
relatively short time, assuming that someone somewhere can give me a
functional description of how the piece works. If the only information
is, "try the program and document any buttons and drop downs you find,"
I can do that as well. I can also take documentation that looks like it
was crapped out of a mad monkey factory and turn it into something
comprehensible.
Everything has to start somewhere.
If I have breached some form of debian communication protocols, please
forgive my obtuseness. I have been disabled since 2005, so I might not
be completely lucid with regards to social pleasantries.
For what it's worth.
