My two cents We should go to conferences specifically meant for writers, and market CloudStack. That way, we could attract good freelancers.
The other way is to reach out to students and offer internship to those who are interested in writing. ..In the due course, both parties are mutually benefited: Students get good industry exposure on cutting edge technology, whereas we might get good writers to work on CloudStack docs.. -Radhika -----Original Message----- From: Chip Childers [mailto:chip.child...@sungard.com] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 7:37 PM To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: [DOCS] More OSS writers needed On Wed, Apr 03, 2013 at 07:31:19PM -0700, Jessica Tomechak wrote: > In this morning's IRC chat, it was very properly pointed out that > CloudStack could use more doc writers. > > We have a backlog of suggestions for large, new documentation > projects.

This is great... but do you (others) have any ideas about how we can attract new tech writers to the project? I think that we obviously have *lots* of work to do, which frankly can even go into helping to curate the wiki, etc... My personal concern is getting enough volunteers to work on all of this!
