Write the Docs Helps Create FLOSS Software Documentation (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the a-million-monkeys-with-a-million-monkey-can-create-all-the-docs-we-need dept.

Say hello to David Smatlak, who works with Write the Docs -- a group that started some years back as Read the Docs.They have conferences in the U.S.and Europe, and Meetups in over a dozen cities. It's a low-key group, open to both people who write documentation and developers who want help writing professeional-quality documentation for their Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects. Also welcome are those who would like to learn how to write good software documentation, starting with this online tutorial about the art and science of writing technical documentation. (And if you are interested primarily in Linux documentation, you'll want to check the Linux Documentation Project, too.)

  1. About The Linux Doc Page by xxxJonBoyxxx · · Score: 3, Interesting

    1) I kind of expected to be routed to /dev/null when I click on the "Linux Doc" link.
    2) But, no, it's real site (http://www.tldp.org/)...whose unfriendly and unhelpful home page looks exactly like it was written and designed by a bunch of Linux coders.
