Hello Doc Team,
My name is Chase Ladner, I'm a Dev Ops Engineer out of the United
States. Louisiana, to be specific. I'm an IBMer of 3 years, and before
that I worked as a reporter for a local newspaper in Mississippi. The
tech world is still pretty new to me, and there's a lot I still want
to learn and improve on. And what better place to learn than by
reading the docs? ;)
I'm reasonably proficient with shell scripting, writing code, and
reading other people's code as well. My grammar is less disciplined as
it once was, but I think there is still enough of those rules stuck in
my head to help out in that respect.
From the wiki, it looks like a good place to start to checking on old
guides and migrating docs to the new system. Is this still the case?
If so, I'll gladly help out there.
Yep, that's still valid. Some of the stuff in the quick-docs repository
is still unmigrated, see
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/#_steps for info. On top
of that a lot of the docs in the same repo are converted but could use
someone with technical skills to review them, because they've been up
for a while and might be out of date; this is covered in the README at
https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/quick-docs/tree/master.
Another great task for new people is contributing to release notes, but
since Fedora 31 came out recently and F32 is still fairly far away, this
doesn't apply right now - but I'll send out a call for contributions to
this list in a few months when it's time.
General contributor guidelines are available at
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-docs/contributing/, you
should check these out before you start doing anything else.
Have fun, and let me know if you need help with anything!
