2021-09-09 17:05:30 <nzm> hi all! I've been encouraged to see where I can help with documentation. I don't have a ton of experience writing documentation for large projects, but I'm interested to learn
2021-09-09 17:48:28 <nzm> I'm not entirely sure how I would like to expand on the existing docs just yet, does anyone have previously thought-of directions that they were hoping to take for documentation?
2021-09-09 17:49:07 <nzm> If not, and let me know if this is not a good way to go about it, but I am wondering if digging into internals by writing "labs" that users can do to familiarize themselves with alpine, would be a good way to for me to learn what users want?
2021-09-09 19:36:54 <nangel> nzm: if you want to give a try, that sounds great, at least its something.   SpaceToast and I are working on creating a writing style-guide for future contributors, but (for various reasons) the progress has been slow.
2021-09-09 19:37:39 <SpaceToast> nzm: the first thing to do re: content would be to go over what's on there right now and make sure it's all up-to-date :)
2021-09-09 19:37:54 <nangel> Having more contributors is definitely what we want!
2021-09-09 19:37:55 <SpaceToast> I haven't had an opportunity to really do a major pass like that since it was originally written, which was a while ago now
2021-09-09 19:38:29 <nangel> SpaceToast:  docs is definitely much better than the wiki! :P
2021-09-09 19:38:56 <SpaceToast> oh, sure, I did put quite a bit of effort into making sure they were good and accurate *at the time*
2021-09-09 19:39:26 <SpaceToast> but that's the difference between docs and wiki - docs need to get updated over time (while wikis generally primarily care about new content)
2021-09-09 22:36:05 <nzm> I wholeheartedly agree that docs is better than wiki, even already it's just so much more focused
2021-09-09 22:37:14 <nzm> and spacetoast's most recent comment is also true, there's been plenty of stuff I've come across on the wiki that just seemed incorrect based on the last edited date alone
2021-09-13 20:55:15 <nzm> hey all, Still interested in participating in docs but I was away much of the weekend
2021-09-13 20:55:53 <nzm> so over the next few days, just to confirm, I should review the existing docs for things that are outdated, then submit a pull request for them?
2021-09-14 14:25:35 <nzm> hi all, sorry had some IRC troubles for a minute, hope I didn't miss anything
2021-09-14 14:34:24 <ikke> nzm: No, you didn't miss anything
2021-09-14 14:34:57 <ikke> Pull requests are certainly appreaciated
2021-09-17 23:35:22 <SpaceToast> nzm: that sounds about right - one big MR is fine, I'll get around to it at some point. I'd also appreciate general sources (even if it's just a man page or a wiki link) in commits
2021-09-17 23:36:09 <SpaceToast> and sorry for the delay, I'm having a lot of issues in meatspace recently
2021-09-18 06:50:49 <ikke> SpaceToast: sorry to hear that
2021-09-18 10:22:36 <SpaceToast> it's ok ikke, I'll be fine, just a question of how long it takes ^^ - as per usual
