> Some time ago, KDE e.V. decided to contract work to help the KDE community with its efforts to maintain and improve KDE's technical documentation, broadly similar to how KDE e.V. also contracts work within the KDE Promo community already. Juan Carlos Torres was hired to set the stage with an initial three-months long project analyzing and reporting on the current state of KDE's documentation. Based on this information KDE e.V. published a new job ad in 2021, which we have now completed hiring for.

He has been a long-time contributor to KDE's German translation and KDE applications, for example as a maintainer of KShisen, one of KDE's games. Having professionally worked on software development and writing documentation previously, he's excited to dive deeper into KDE's documentation next.

He had already set his sights on improving the tooling used for KDE's technical documentation and will continue to do so on behalf of KDE e.V. for the next three months.

They'll be active in the #kde-docs channel and on the kde-docs-english mailing list, and also involve themselves in for example the ongoing meetings to plan KDE Frameworks 6 development soon to assist the community with this important upcoming transition. Let's document all the things!

Thanks for the warm welcome :) In the next three months, I will
try to continue improving our documentation tooling even further.

If you have suggestions or ideas about things to improve, let
me know either by email or just ping me in #kde-docs:kde.org :)

Cheers,
Carl
