[kde-doc-english] Shared open-source style guide

[Phil Bull]

Hi guys,

(I already posted something similar to kde-docbook, but that list looks
to be dead.)

An idea was floated at WOSCON [1] to create a shared open-source style
guide for documentation writers [2]. This would be a "vanilla" style
guide, which projects could modify and extend if necessary. Advantages
include:

      * No need for projects to write their own style guide from scratch
      * Reasonable uniformity in style and terminology across projects
      * Independence from external style guides, which may cost money to
access
      * Projects which don't have a style guide get one for free

We have people from GNOME, Ubuntu, Xfce and Drupal discussing this at
the moment, and we'd love for other projects to let us know if they are
interested in the concept, and to give us their feedback if they are.

Please get in touch via the WOS website [1] if you're interested!

Thanks,

Phil
