From mick at flossmanuals.net Fri Jan 27 04:49:22 2017 From: mick at flossmanuals.net (Mick) Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2017 12:49:22 +0000 Subject: [FM Discuss] Form submission from: Get Involved Form In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <7f2155af-f2ad-02f6-fbe8-51b12d7ace40@flossmanuals.net> Dear Cathy, Many thanks for your interest in volunteering for FLOSS Manuals. I've cc-ed our community list to introduce you. You can join the list here if you are interested to do so. http://lists.flossmanuals.net/listinfo.cgi/discuss-flossmanuals.net You mentioned you are interested in writing, editing and development. Our main project at the moment is to finish work on our new front page which you can see here. http://flossmanuals.net/ We are looking to do the following things and you may be able to help. 1) identify and fix links which don't work on that page (report should be logged here https://gitlab.com/mickfuzz/fm_en_splash/issues) 2) add manuals which are on the old site but not the new one (the old site is still live here (http://archive.flossmanuals.net/) 3) Improve summary texts of manuals on the front page to make it clear what the software is and what you can do with it. :) I think this could be a way of getting to know the site better and seeing if there are manuals that you think you would like to update, improve or get ideas for new projects. Probably the best thing to do is to pick a small mission and then to email to ask for help for how to do it.

I've cc-ed our community list to introduce you. You can join the list here if you are interested to do so. http://lists.flossmanuals.net/listinfo.cgi/discuss-flossmanuals.net You mentioned you are interested in writing and editing . Probably the best thing to do is to pick a small mission and then to email to ask for help for how to do it. There are plenty of manuals that need updating but you may want to start fresh too. It would be interesting to have one around web design.
