[p2pu-dev] Contributing to Lernata (code) group. previously... [p2pu-community] Working with the new site: Ideas from Dan Diebolt and I

Thu Mar 31 15:22:40 UTC 2011

I'm thinking we could do a study group this upcoming round of
classes/groups, gather up all the gotchas/questions we find, and use that to
build up the documentation for future developers.  We can probably reuse
some things already in place like #p2pu-dev (for those that are of the IRC
variety). Maybe once we finish we can update
http://new.p2pu.org/en-US/courses/lernanta-dev/  ?

My first sketch is now up
http://new.p2pu.org/en-US/courses/introduction-to-contributing-to-lernata/content/task-list-draft/

In addition to the great resource that is Zuzel and each other, we have help
as well with https://github.com/p2pu/lernanta/wiki so that's awesome :)

I know you're insanely busy, Zuzel, and we'll be calling on you when we
can't figure out stuff ourselves.

I'm going to -- when I can -- set up the task list (sounds better than a
syllabus to me) as group editable and we'll grow (sic) from there!

Looking forward to the fun :)

Jessica
