Good day GeoServer users

Here's a quick update to the effort coordination for the 2024 roadmap.
Thank you to the few individuals who have responded with offers of
assistance.

The 9 tasks have been broken up into individual wiki pages, all linked from
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Maintenance-%26-Roadmap#2024-roadmap.
Please take a look at them, see which ones interest you and your company
the most, and put your name down to assist**

One current task that I would like to highlight is the effort by Jody
(GeoCat) to migrate all the brilliant GeoServer documentation (that you
reference every week!) from sphinx to mkdocs:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Migrate-documentation-to-mkdocs

He has now asked for users to compare the old documentation to the new
documentation (preview found here: https://jodygarnett.github.io/geoserver/)
and to let us know if there are any glaring issues, like broken links or
elements that are not properly rendered.  He has done a fantastic job so
far of automating the migration, but *we need your eyes on the new
documentation*, please, for the final acceptance.

*This is something that you can all get involved in!*

** How to make a wiki edit
Hmm, we're working on that.  For now, please just reply by email with your
offer to help.

** How to report an issue with mkdocs
If you have a GitHub account, make a detailed comment in the pull request:
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/7429
If you don't have a GitHub account, we would love you to make one, so that
you can contribute more easily: https://github.com/signup (3 minutes, plus
it is visually fun!)
If you really don't want to sign up, you can reply publically (preferably
not privately) and I will capture your feedback in the pull request for you.

Thanks for your time!
