Re: Work Experiene

[Jessica Steel]

Hi Keith,

That sounds fantastic, thanks again for writing the letter. I have
proof read the Writer Guide main links page. I will make my way
through the remaining links as well.

On a side note, if there is any actually writing or content that has
yet to be written that needs to be, perhaps I can be of service. I am
strongly consider starting a Graduate Diploma or Certificate (I'm not
sure what you call them where you are from) in Information Technology
to broaden my technical writing scope. I have an interest in the
subject and I am eager to learn more. I am open to thoughts or
suggestions if you have any. Otherwise what I do currently is also
fine.

Thanks one more time,

Jess

Hello Keith,

I am equally apologetic for taking so long to respond, it appears we
are both busy people. A short letter would be more convenient, but I
understand if time constraints don't make this ideal for you.

Also I was perusing the User Guide Status page and noticed the Writer
Guide needs a proofread. I clicked on it to explore further and found
this page is mostly a series of links. I was wondering if it is just
this page that needs proofreading, or does each link on this page then
need to be proofread also?

Thanks again,

Jess

[Jessica Steel]

Hi Keith,

Is it possible to use you as a reference for my work experience in
technical writing? I would like to add I will still continue to
volunteer regardless. Is it entirely up to you how you would like to
approach this, whether you would prefer to give a brief letter of
referral or offer an email address to contact you by.

Thanks,

Jess

Hi Keith,

The Find and Replace section has now also been proof read/edited. I
will continue just working through the rest of the user guide where
ever a second reader/editor is needed if that suits.

Thanks,

Hi Keith,

I corrected the issues with being unable to add my signature (a
keyboard malfunction.) Proof reading/editing of General Options is now
also complete.

Hi Keith,

I have re-written/edited Extensions, but for some reason I seem unable
to add my signature and update the status page for Extensions. Perhaps
it's a maintenance check of some sort. I will try and add it again
tomorrow regardless and continue on with my other edits.

Thanks,

Hi Keith,

I apologize, unfortunately I'm still very new to navigating Apache but
I will try to be more diligent moving forward. I have also style
checked Support File Formats, and corrected my signature on the status
page. I am happy to be directed if you have a part of the guide that
needs immediate attention, otherwise I will peruse what else needs
editing or style checks.

Thanks,

Hi Keith,

I have done as requested though my name did not show up on the main
status page. I'm not overly concerned but I just thought I should
mention it. I will commence work on Support File Formats shortly.

Thanks for your guidance!

Hi Keith,

I am happy to work on the Auto correct and Support File Formats if that suits?

Re: New Volunteer - Technical Writing Experience

[Jessica Steel]

Hello,

I have set up a login and read the contributions page and I am
currently working my way into the user guide. Please let me know where
to begin or how I can be of assistance. As I do not know the project
yet I am most interested in anything that can gain me practical
experience in technical writing, be it manuals, software application
instructions, user guides, or even basic documentation: I am at your
disposal.

Thanks,

Jessica

New Volunteer - Technical Writing Experience

[Jessica Steel]

Hello,

I am an Australian who would like to be a volunteer. I have a Bachelor
in Writing and I have
just completed a Certificate in Technical Writing as well. I am now
seeking to gain some work experience in technical writing with Apache.

I have read through the Orientation Modules and subscribed to this
mailing list. Any guidance or advice would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Jessica
