Thank you for sharing @gracebish !

I would like to volunteer for a technical writer role, can you please share if we have a docs channel? I joined the freenode rooms, and I’m getting used to openMRS.

Do let me know if any area needs immediate help, I would love to get started with some helpful docs soon!

Thank you very much for the update @gracebish !

@jennifer I was thinking of starting off from splitting the project idea into issues and creating a timeline, if it’s alright with you, and I could get started.

I would update the community and team here.

Hello @gracebish @jennifer

May I open a new thread for GSoD project discussion? Or would this thread suffice?

Looking forward to start off as soon as possible. Thanks!

Hi @rachitt01! Welcome to our community - it’s great to know about your interest in contributing to our community as a technical writer.

In regard to this particular technical writing project, which is different from past GSoD projects, our main focus over the next 2-3 weeks will be to identify & engage a technical writer who will lead this project, followed by two technical writing fellows.

In addition to the detailed information about this project that’s on our Wiki, we’ll be posting specific information about the lead technical writer role and fellows for this project later today.

In the meantime, I suggest that you become familiar with our community and those squads/teams working on the projects with an identified need for a Getting Started Guide. Here are some specific resources you might want to check out (if you haven’t already):
