Docs Sprint March 2011

Types of Tasks

There are many different ways you can contribute, including (but not limited to):

• Answer a FAQ question
• Explain a concept
• Write a tutorial
• Write the API documentation for a new Framework function
• Enhance and improve existing documentation

Logistics

Coordination will be carried out in the Fluid IRC Channel. Documentation should be created/edited in this wiki.

• If a page already exists, there should be a link to it here.
• Create any new pages as a child of this page by choosing "Add Content" from the bottom of the left sidebar. We'll take care of orginizing any new content later.

If in doubt, just ask in the channel.

Topics

Some topic ideas are listed below. Pick a topic, or suggest one: Something you'd like to learn (writing about something is a great way to learn it!), something you've just figured out, or something you've worked on and know all about.
