Site copy team
From Dreamwidth Notes
The site copy team is now accepting applications for membership. If you want to be considered, please follow the following steps:
- Choose a page on the site (Information Architecture may be useful; replace htdocs with http://www.rahaeli.dreamhack.afunamatata.com/ after creating an account there) that you plan to update, and check that nobody else has claimed it (as we'll hopefully be using many of them, and duplicating effort is silly). Make sure it's something that has more than about three words of text.
- Add your name to the list below.
- Re-write the page you've chosen, from scratch. For now, just do it in a text editor, and don't worry about the site translation interface (which is what we'll be using to update the text). Pay special attention to our Manual of Style and out terminology, but within those guidelines, write the page the way you think it should be written. You can pretty much disregard existing text entirely.
- Email your new version of the text to rho at rho@rho.me.uk, in plain text format only. Use the subject line "Dreamwidth Site Copy Team". Be aware that I may show the text to others within the Dreamwidth project, though I won't share your email address.
Anyone selected for the team who's going to have their text appear on site will have to sign a CLA.
How to add yourself
Add yourself using the following template:
- Name: LJ username (<ljuser>username</ljuser>;) or username on this wiki ([[user:username|]])
- Interests and strengths: Things related to either Dreamwidth or to technical writing that you are particularly strong at or interested in, and would like to work on.
- Weaknesses: Conversely, the stuff you're not as good at and would prefer to avoid.
- Working on: Which page you're working on for the application. Make sure that this is one that nobody else has claimed!
- CLA: Either "signed" or "unsigned". You don't need to have signed one at this point, but if you already have done, please note it here.
