One of the things that we've wanted to do for a while was make it easier for people to share code and examples and libraries. Confluence really gives us the tools we need to make this happen. The Selenium project already has done this, if you want to see one way of doing this.
Patrick has been sending me little hints for a while that he'd like to see our website cleaned up at openqa.org. It is mostly empty and has incorrect information in many places. I could update this myself, but i'd rather focus on getting Watir 1.5 ready for release. If one or two people would volunteer to update this website, we would all appreciate it. It would make OpenQA look more inhabited and make it easier for new people to find our FAQ and Wiki and learn how get the latest from SVN.
I often get emails saying "how can i help?" Well, this would be a big way to help.

Hey everyone,
First, I'd like to say I've very excited to have Watir joining the
OpenQA community. OpenQA is quickly become a great place for some
very interesting tools. As you know Selenium covers a wide array of
programming languages. In addition to the Ruby support from Watir and
WET, a new Java project called Floyd, and now a Python project that
tests Windows applications called pyWinAuto. I'm very pleased with
the diversity of OpenQA and hope it continues!
Part of the migration to OpenQA involves making sure that the
standard project website at http://www.openqa.org/watir look decent
and have the correct information. I know that some parts of Watir are
staying at rubyforge, including the main website itself. However, in
order for it to be clear which projects are part of the OpenQA
community and using the various resources, a basic website at OpenQA
is also required.
I'm looking for volunteers to help put together some very simple. A
page that just points to the main page is perfectly fine. The bigger
issue is helping make sure all the standard links in the left hand
column that are part of the default project template are accurate. I
know, for example, that the mailing list and forums information is
wrong. To fix these, some changes are required in trunk/website/
meta.xml, as well as potentially some changes in the OpenQA website
template.
I can take care of the website template, but I need help from you
guys to guide me. Thanks!
