Gentoo Documentation Project
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.
All developers can be reached by e-mail using [email protected]. The documentation project has the following subprojects:

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.

Status updates don't usually talk about fixed bugs and updated documentation, although that is the main task of the GDP. The following status updates are available:

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. |
