Minutes

The full IRC log for Friday's IRC meeting (July 31) is located here: http://pastebin.com/f3e11e1c3

The main two items that we covered are:
1) We need to review, test, and update if needed, the existing Upgrade and Installation guides, preferably by August 14. Richard (sillygwailo) volunteered to take on review of the upgrade guide. Emma got in touch with Andre (andremolnar) outside of the meeting and he agreed to help with the Upgrade guide review as well. There is an issue for this at http://drupal.org/node/536854.

We still need someone to step up and work on the Installation guide review. Please use the issue (http://drupal.org/node/538054) to indicate you are working on it and post comments/questions.

2) We need to help with core docs issues. There are two main lists right now to work on:
Core patches that need docs
Core issues in documentation component
We will begin having sprints to work on these. Emma (emmajane) has agreed to help mentor at sprints. We'd like to have at least 2 mentors at each sprint, and we can have them whenever mentors want to run them, convenient to them. Ideally we should have at least a handful during the month of August. The first sprints will be ideal times for people who want to learn to mentor, as well as just get work done. More on this will be coming in a followup post.

Sorry for the delay in getting this up. Here is the IRC log for the IRC meeting from July 10 where we discussed docs for Drupal 7: http://pastebin.com/f244a7fc2

Here is a short summary of the major points:

This is a short summary of the IRC meeting we had on Tuesday, June 16 to discuss the new roadmap that was posted last week, http://drupal.org/node/488070.

**Announcements
- The KDI sprint funding is pending so I'm starting to plan doc sprints for next year at camps around the world. If folks are aware of camps being planned, please keep me in the loop for a potential sprints.

• Re: the OG vs mailing list conversation, Moshe is open to tieing the two together but none of the current solutions are solid. I'll be getting more info on what's needed and who might help in the next few weeks.
