This Month in Drupal Documentation
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 July 1st (our previous TMIDD post), 260 contributors have made 800 total Drupal.org documentation page revisions, including 5 people that made more than 20 edits (gisle, lolandese, YesCT, adellefrank, and mparker17) -- thanks everyone!
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.
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?

Report from the Working Group
- We finally finished our deliberations, and decided on our priorities for documentation-related software/infrastructure. These priorities were submitted to the Software Working Group, and are also listed on https://www.drupal.org/governance/docwg-goals. Ideas we considered but decided were not priorities for the next year are listed on https://www.drupal.org/node/2258139.
- We are preparing for the sprints at DrupalCon Amsterdam (29 Sept.-3 Oct.) by updating and prioritising documentation issues. We'll be using documentation issue tag "docsprint" to tag issues that we think will be good for sprints, over the next two months especially.
- After an initial period of setting ourselves up, we are now happy to open up the monthly meeting of the Documentation Working Group to anyone who would like to attend. Please contact Boris (batigolix) if you want to join the meeting and send hit the email address you use for Google, since we meet in Google Hangout.
