Hi Arun,
Thank you for the introduction and your interest to work on Apache Beam documentation with Season of Docs. To participate in the program you need to follow the guides here [1] [2]. If you are new to the program, we suggest: 1. Start by studying our proposed project ideas and expected deliverables for each of them [3]. 2. Explore more in depth the existing related Beam documentation for each project idea. We provided links to the background material, known issues and current documentation for both project ideas [4] [5]. Choose one project you like the most. 3. Start drafting a proposal with the gaps you have found and ideas for improvement, and how you would present the new/updated/full documentation. Here are more tips on how to make your proposal stronger [6]. Please, follow the guides and make sure you cover all points. 4. Submit the project proposal to the Google program administrators during the technical writer application phase. It opens on June 9, 2020. If you want any feedback for your initial draft, consider using Google Docs and share on dev@beam.apache.org, so the community members can leave their comments and suggestions (please check the access to the doc before sending to the mailing list). If you have any ideas that you want to brainstorm about, don’t hesitate to start a discussion in the community list or reach out on Slack channel to discuss issues related to GSoD documentation [7]. Once you create an account join #beam-gsod channel. Project administrators will assess proposals based on these guidelines [8] Hope it helps. Let us know if you have more questions.
