I am creating an account today on
https://docs.slackware.com. I am not familiar with how these wiki's work atm, though it shouldn't take very long. I will spend some time on here learning how the logistics work. The reason I am doing this is because:
- It's something to do.
- If opportunities are available for tweaking/tuning pages up, then I would be glad to do that.
- Just having additional experience in other areas for the community in contributing.
Mainly the 2nd/3rd reasons are the primary influence for me. There are a few pages I'm sure could use some more cosmetic tailoring. I haven't really noticed anything yet, but I also haven't been on there long enough to notice anything. I'm not talking about
editing, I am specifically talking about potential errata/typos/punctuation/etc. I'm sure the core team is working diligently on their jobs, so the least I can do is maybe learn some skills to fix the piddly things they don't have time for. That way, they can focus on what's important. I really would like to know more details about how we can contribute on the wiki, if possible. If I have the wrong idea on this, please let me know. I just remember clicking on the "getting involved link," so I read the pages on that and it seemed like this type of volunteer opportunity was for anyone.
Skills I have:
- English (college level)
- Technical Writing
I do know a bit of Japanese/Spanish, but it's not enough to mention above. I am diligently learning Japanese a couple hours a day, so maybe when I am able to get my JLPT exams finished I will add that to a potential opportunity for future elements.
Thanks,
