The main thing we think of: Drupal.org handbooks

We also have docs in code:
api.drupal.org - taken from comments for functions
UI text inside Drupal admin - in a hook_help function

Being a team

- Everyone can edit and review: if you help with docs you are on the team
- Doc admins have additional responsibilities but you don’t need them to be “on the team”

Accomplishments

- Getting Involved guide
- open editing
- Reorg the theme guide
* the big win is that we are opening up and working together rather than in isolated
tasks

The road ahead

- New Help system linking code and d.o
there is a patch that will let us make a Documentation module for full
docs in your Drupal site, and then have it sync with D.o pages
- Internationalization

Redesign - lots of things still need to be defined, organized and built
