I'm trying to connect undergrad technical writing students with opportunities to gain experience.

I'd like to find open source projects that need help with documentation: writing the docs, editing the docs, converting the docs (like from latex to HTML, from nroff to markdown, etc), … things like that.

Please reply here!

*I may include these suggestions in an article

@freedosproject taskwarrior has some decent docs already but they suffer from being written long ago and being heavily patched. It also has manpages in troff that could use a conversion to a more writable format.

@djmitche Is this the correct link?
https://taskwarrior.org/

@freedosproject My code is alpha but I could use some help with documentation

[penguin42@mastodon.org.uk]

@freedosproject #libreoffice 's doc team starting point is https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development

[djmitche@fosstodon.org]

@freedosproject yes, and https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior

[freedosproject@fosstodon.org]

@mistergibson Do you have a link to your project that I could point students to?

[mistergibson@turtleisland.social]

@freedosproject not yet --> I'm too broke to put up a website thus far. This will change in due course but for now all I have is the source code. sorry

[freedosproject@fosstodon.org]

@mistergibson Do you have a GitHub repo, or is the source all offline?

[freedosproject@fosstodon.org]

@penguin42 Thanks!

@djmitche Thanks!

[jabref@foojay.social]

@freedosproject
We would appreciate some help with our user documentation as well
https://github.com/JabRef/user-documentation

For the most part, it's describing new features and or updating/clarifying existing functionality

[freedosproject@fosstodon.org]

@jabref Thanks!

@freedosproject You may want to have a look at what the @mdn team are doing over at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/community.

[freedosproject@fosstodon.org]

@plwt Thanks!

[freedosproject@fosstodon.org]

@ikke Thanks!

[jeroenbaten@mastodon.nl]

@freedosproject also, the Ardour project at ardour.org, and the LibrePlan project at libreplan.dev. And probably thousands more!

[freedosproject@fosstodon.org]

@JeroenBaten Thanks!

I'm trying to help open source projects with their docs, while also helping tech writing students to get experience. It's a win-win! 👍

@freedosproject Does the Gentoo Linux Wiki count? https://wiki.gentoo.org/ or perhaps more specifically the Gentoo Handbook https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64.
