Yes, there is a great deal of useful information about
Midgard in the archives. Now, the next challenge is to
move the relevant material from there to the manual.
That is where we will need volunteers. While the work
will be a bit time-consuming, it is also a great
opportunity to learn about the system and contribute
to the project. The work itself isn't too difficult,
it just needs some patience.
What would probably help there would be that one
(or several) people would go through the archives and
copy the relevant material in a simple question and
answer format (as it is in the email) to a document.
That document could then be used as a sort or FAQ
(divide the information into topics like those found
in the manual but not do any actual editing at this
point).
After the FAQ would be complete enough, then the next
job would be to rewrite the information into a format
usable in the manual. As this could be done one item
at time, it should be quite manageable.
This way of working could be a solution to our lack
of documentation, and could enable many people to
contribute to the project without having to put too
much time into it.
Any volunteers for beginning the work?
