Hi Alan, Any documentation that you feel would benefit the community is always welcomed. I am always looking for new topics with how-to sections, tips and troubleshooting suggestions from our uPortal community. Also, the development section of the manual could always use more. We have a systems administration section in the manual which would be a perfect area to include metrics and testing of uPortal. We also have a jira ticketing section for uPortal Documentation (https://issues.jasig.org/browse/UPD) so you may want to take a glance and if you see anything that you would like to take ownership of please feel free. Else, let me know what you would like to write about and you can send me your documentation and I can proofread and post it for you on the wiki.
We do ask that our contributors have a Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA) on record, which can be found here http://www.jasig.org/files/licensing/jasig-icla2.pdf (For further licensing information: http://www.jasig.org/licensing).
