Hi again! As the tasks page content is a little more a couple of paragraphs, I think that's why they have included it in a different page besides, tasks deserves to have a page of it's own I think. Single landing page for a newbie to quickly know the requirements before attempting to contribute is great but if the page is extremely lengthy, 2 scrolls down I feel newbies loose interest and enthusiasm unable to make sense of the information galore in there.
Then again, you could draft your own ideal landing page for those wanting to contribute to the GNOME Documentation project under your live.gnome.org username like I have done .../sindhus/xxxx and have it posted on the docs list for a review? If it's better than the existing one, am sure they'll be happy to replace it with yours! :) -Sindhu On Fri, Mar 29, 2013 at 1:50 AM, Bastian Hougaard <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Sindhu, > > On Fri, 2013-03-29 at 00:50 +0530, Sindhu S wrote: >> I am currently an intern with the documentation team and I have >> written a practical docs workflow guide for newbies, please take a >> look at https://live.gnome.org/sindhus/SuggestedWorkflowForWritingUserHelp > Nice work!
