We are doing all we can to improve the doc right now as you saw with the 2.1 new doc, also in the previous release 30-40% of the commits where to improve or fix the doc, but we still need to do more and I think that having a dedicated person would be the best possible thing Point 3: This is also something where we have space for anyone who wants to help, it is something really appreciated and not very difficult. There is a repository for the current website which is available at https://bitbucket.org/faide/turbogearsorg/overview feel free to make any change and propose a pull request. Point 4: This is something that has to be done. There is very little on http://turbogears.org/en/resources so feel free to ask what you are currently missing and we will try to provide answers. We are definitely at step 0 right now and will require some time. I'm going to add a "Contribute" page on the website trying to gather together all the info/doc that we already have somewhere. To anyone who wants to contribute I can only say "create your own repository on github and send a pull request on the tg-trunk ML, I promise to review each and every patch and include it as soon as possible" :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
