<p>hi everyone,</p>
<p>i have some exciting news from the land of UpStage: we have
finally had some success in our search for funds to rebuild our
platform! Creative Europe is funding 60% of our budget for a
collaboration with two european arts organisations, that will
produce a series of networked performances as well as a rebuild of
the UpStage software to bring it up to date with current
technologies including functioning on mobile devices. read the
announcement here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://upstage.org.nz/?p=8547">https://upstage.org.nz/?p=8547</a></p>
<p>this means that we will need to completely rewrite the manual.
we're currently right at the beginning of the software
development, still making decisions about choices of technology,
methodologies etc., so it's not possible to start writing a manual
when the software doesn't exist. but it would be good to hear from
anyone out there who might like to contribute to the
documentation. maybe it's interesting for you to get involved in
the process early on - we are a small but enthusiastic team at
UpStage & we do like to have fun while we work :)</p>
<p>we would like to really up our documentation for the project. we
have never had proper developer documentation, & the user
manual has usually been out of date. we need documentation for
those who want to install the server application on their own
server, as well as for those who want to get involved as
developers, and user documentation for the artists who will use
the platform. so there are quite a few angles there for the
technical writing.</p>
<p>if you would like to find out more about UpStage, please visit
the website, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://upstage.org.nz">https://upstage.org.nz</a>. the user manual for UpStage
v3 is on FM here:

<p>please contact me off-list if you would like to get involved in
any capacity - documentation, development, artist ...</p>
