Gentoo Documentation Project
1. Project Description
What we do, and who we are
The Gentoo Documentation Project (GDP) is responsible for the creation and
maintenance of all official Gentoo documentation. The GDP is not a closed team
of any sorts, but instead an open community committed to critiquing, and
possibly integrating, viable user documentation.
Mission Statement
The Gentoo Documentation Project was formed to address the need of
complete documentation for Gentoo. In doing so, the GDP team is committed
to the creation and maintenance of clear, concise, and original
documentation. We will protect our users and developers by the use of
free and open licensing on all documentation. The GDP is committed to
remaining a free and open project, and will abide by the Social Contract
set forth by the Gentoo Project.

5. Status Updates
What are Status Updates?
A status update is a small text covering what the GDP has done since the
previous status update. It is written by the operational manager and contains a
quick overview on how the GDP progresses. If you want to know what lives in the
GDP, and what is in the process of developing, this is what you should read.
Status updates don't usually talk about fixed bugs and updated documentation,
although that is the main task of the GDP.

Participating
To participate in the Gentoo Documentation Project first join the
mailing list at [email protected]. Then ask if there are plans to
support something that you are interested in, propose a new subproject
that you are interested in, or choose one of the planned subprojects to
work on. You may talk to the developers and users in the IRC channel
#gentoo-doc on irc.freenode.net for more information or just to chat
about the project or any subprojects. If you don't have the ability to
actively help by contributing work we will always need editors to
maintain the quality and accuracy of the overall product. All
development, editing, and productive comments and feedback will be
greatly appreciated.
