Hola, I have been lurking recently on the documentation list and now I want to volunteer. The main reasons is because I need to use the documentation myself :) I will try to learn the basics of DocBook and get git set up before our conference, so I can hit the ground running at the Hackfest DIG meeting.
For now I want to start with small documentation projects/assignments to get my feet wet (proofreading/testing/writing/etc). My current main documentation interest is in EG 2.0 data migration, but I don't mind working at first on a different area. For the record, I work in Boston as the system administrator for a small music library that is moving to EG in the near future. I have a strong programming background (PHP/Javascript/SQL/Bash) and have worked a lot with HTML/CSS/XML/WikiText. I also have basic experience with version control (subversion), but I am still learning Perl. I know how to install Evergreen 1.6.x /2.x , though I am still learning how to migrate data. Finally I am fluent in Spanish. Up to know I have "officially" attended the last DIG IRC meeting, added myself to the participant list, and now written this letter. I believe the next step is pick an area to help with? Any other suggestions? Thanks and see you in Decatur, Yamil Suarez - yboston _______________________________________________ OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION mailing list [email protected] http://list.georgialibraries.org/mailman/listinfo/open-ils-documentation
