The last Documentation Interest Group (DIG) meeting was held on Thursday, Jan. 9. Unfortunately, it was very sparsely attended. Because of that and the need to have more voices, we hope to have another meeting fairly soon. You can view that Jan. 9 agenda here.<http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs:dig_meeting_20140109-agenda> We were unable to discuss several of these topics because of the low attendance. If you would like to attend this meeting, please indicate your availability using the linked Doodle poll.

It's a group of people who are interested in creating and maintaining the documentation for the Evergreen ILS. As you know, new features are being developed all the time and older features are being updated. It's very important to have current documentation so that end users can effectively and efficiently make use of Evergreen. - DIG meetings are held in the #evergreen channel of IRC. If you don't know what this means, PLEASE ask. There's no reason for unfamiliarity with IRC to prevent you from participating when there are many people pleased to help you and enthusiastic for your participation. - There are people throughout the Evergreen universe who would be wonderful contributors to Evergreen documentation but who are untapped because they've not been engaged or empowered to participate in Evergreen outside of their library, library system, or consortium. If you know of such a person, please facilitate their participation. Evergreen, as an open source initiative, is dependent on community participation and contribution for the production of a quality, sustainable ILS. If you are in a management or supervisory role, please look around you for those un-utilized or under-utilized resource people. -- Ruth Frasur Director of the Historic(ally Awesome) Hagerstown - Jefferson Township Library 10 W.
