Hi all,

Sorry to disturb you all. My name is Peter. I am the current Chairman,
and PMC member. I also have an eye on recruitment. From time to time
people volunteer to work on documentation. I point them on documentation
list, sometimes I see some stuff is done, but to me it is unclear how it
evolves. And I have the feeling it just does not start through. Now I
would like to try a different approach, because a volunteer Sandor,
wrote to recruitment.

I want to try to gather a team of 3+ volunteers who are interested to
work on documentation together. I put a list up of people who have shown
some Interest in one way or another within Documentation as an initial
test ballon. And the result is this email you are receiving. You are on
this list because you have shown interest in the past, or you are
subscribed on our public documentation list.


Please if you are not interested to put work into OpenOffice or this
Offensive, just inform me. It is Ok.


The vision:

 The vision is to build a documentary task force, that will handle
documentation. First activity would be to conduct an investiture of what
we have. Then we need to make a plan / set a goal and create a backlog
from this, collecting all things we think needs to be done.

A backlog is a action/task/requirement list, which is prioritize by
order. (most important element is on top.).


Please consider if you are available and interested for this task. We
will work without any hierarchy, or command structure. All will be
equal! You will be self responsible to keep your commitment up. I think
minimal time required to participate will be 1 "evening" per week as any
other hobby you may be active in.


We are not able to pay you. Your work is totally voluntary, "pro Bono"
as I like to call it. If the PMC sees movement in documentation we will
evaluate committer status.

Hope to hear from you. Positive or negative civilized it is appreciated.
or additional Ideas. :)

Thanks for your time!


All the best

Peter
