Hi :)
Ah, i think that engaging with other things "raises awareness" of this
team.

For example, if the couple of people who are already working on (one of?)
the versions of the in-built help felt that there were people here who
understood something of what they do then they might join this group and
engage more with people here.  That sort of chatter might lead to the
in-built help being more consistent with the published guides, ie what
Peter was talking about.

Having people in this team using different tools might mean that new people
joining the team find something they can get involved in, that suits their
own skill-set.  At the moment there is only 1 way of working.  If new
people don't feel comfortable getting someone to register them at
ODFAuthors or feel uncomfortable with any part of working on the guides
then there is nothing for them to do except leave, or lurk.

Having different ways for people to get involved means people are more
likely to be able to join in and then maybe move around within the team
until they get comfortable doing something they enjoy.

Restrictions tend to lead to greater and greater restrictions ime.
Regards from
Tom :)
