KDI: Task list

[Updated with a cross-post to the marketing group.]

The Knight Drupal Initiative is an open grant process for Drupal projects. See http://groups.drupal.org/node/10459 for more information about the KDI.

Here's a current list of tasks that we need people to take on:

• Write some grant application tips for Proofread http://groups.drupal.org/node/10462 for clarity.

• Design a logo for the Knight Drupal Initiative! Done, considering no alternatives were submitted.

• Create some marketing materials that explain the program. These should include:

-- A one-sentence summary of the program.

The Knight Drupal Initiative helps people improve their communities by providing a robust, freely distributed, open source digital publishing platform.

-- A one-paragraph 'elevator pitch' that we can use to describe the program.

Digital publishing can help people improve their communities by giving them tools to connect people and ideas. The Knight Drupal Initiative wants to enable more people to enter the digital conversation by lowering the technical barriers to entry. We will provide powerful tools for digital publication, free and open to all. Our goal is to encourage people to improve their communities by supporting the free exchange of information and ideas.

-- A one-page description that can be printed and distributed. See attached PDF; I also have this in Word format. http://groups.drupal.org/files/KDI.pdf

• Compose an announcement email that can be sent to all group members. [johndbritton is working on this]

• Proofread the FAQ at http://groups.drupal.org/node/10464

• Come up with ideas for marketing the program inside the Drupal community.
