[kde-doc-english] Re: Helping with documentation

[Philip Rodrigues]

Hi John,
The documentation team have been at aKademy, discussing ways to make things 
easier for new contributors, like yourself, so I thought I'd get back to you 
with that in mind.

In order to help you find something which you'll enjoy working on, I'll 
suggest four broad topics that documentation writing falls into:

1. Writing new content for application manuals
2. Updating content for user manuals
3. Writing content for general KDE documentation, like the User Guide or the 
glossary
4. Non-writing things: taking screenshots, dealing with docs.kde.org, dealing 
with the XML tools used to generate documentation, programming stuff to 
automate, for example, screenshot generation.

If you'd like to begin on one of those areas, tell us at 
kde-doc-english at kde.org and we can find the tasks available in that area.

Regards,
Philip
