What are docs? http://ﬂickr.com/photos/thebristolkid - Drupal.org - API - UI

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 http://ﬂickr.com/photos/emurray - 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 http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/appaloosa - 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 http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/druclimb - 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

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/thomashawk Knight Foundation is funding worldwide Drupal documentation sprints Didn’t know if we had the money so four companies pledged to fund as a back up
