Hi Jean,
Hello Docs Team,
You may have seen this note from Marc here or on another list. IMO
Docs is self-funding through sales of printed copies of books, but if
there is anything you think should be added to the official LO
wishlist, please respond on this thread. (And please read the rest of
this note first.)
My wishlist (for items not covered by book sales) includes funding for
one full-time-equivalent technical writer (actually 2 or 3 part-time
people), but I don't think that's a realistic thing to put on the
official wishlist.
--Jean
Just getting back to some teams about their wishlist items. If you could cost out the approximate cost of a full-time or part-time tech writer, you could still submit it.
Other options that you may want to consider, is perhaps the TDF sending more than one of their dedicated-contributing docs team members to a docs tech conference. Or sending more docs team members to more conferences who focus on doc development issues/tools.
It you put your proposals down, then at least they are aware of the needs of the docs team.
So far the following teams are working on items to submit:
website team-infrastructure; dev team; marketing team; accessibility team
Cheers,
Marc
