Here's an update from the Documentation Working Group (DocWG) on what has been happening in Drupal Documentation in the last month or so. Sorry... because this is posted in the Core group as well as Documentation, comments are disabled.

If you have comments or suggestions, please see the DocWG home page for how to contact us. Thanks!

Thanks for contributing!

Since November 28, (our previous TMIDD post), 232 contributors have made 733 total Drupal.org documentation page revisions, including 8 people that made more than 20 edits (lolandese, Francewhoa, webchick, kreynen, YesCT, Pierre.Vriens, Wim Leers, and PsyCode) -- thanks everyone! Most of these people are seasoned Drupal contributors, but PsyCode is a Google Code-In participant who has been editing pages. That's great -- we love it when our old friends come back to help, and when new people get involved!

In addition, there were many many commits to Drupal Core and contributed projects that improved documentation -- these are hard to count, because many commits combine code and documentation -- but they are greatly appreciated too!

Documentation Priorities

The Current documentation priorities page is always a good place to look to figure out what to work on, and has been updated recently.

Of special note: We're trying to get the Help pages inside Drupal 8 updated -- check the priorities page and events section below on this page for details.

If you're new to contributing to documentation, these projects may seem a bit overwhelming -- so why not try out a New contributor task to get started?

Upcoming Events

• Global Sprint Weekend is coming up on January 17-18, worldwide! DrupalCamp Brighton is having a documentation sprint that weekend, and we've also posted instructions on how anyone, anywhere can participate by reviewing Drupal 8 help.
• http://bogota2015.drupal.org/ - DrupalCon Latin America, Bogotá, Columbia, Feb 10-12, 2015

Report from the Working Group

The Working Group meets monthly via Google Hangouts, and our next meeting is January 14. Contact Boris if you'd like to join the meeting. We're currently discussing how we and the community can address several big problems:

• The lack of documentation for Drupal in languages other than English.
• The difficulty of locating documentation that answers specific Drupal questions.
• The overwhelming size of Drupal documentation for newcomers (not knowing where to start).
