[gnome-love] Re: Documentation Day

[Breda McColgan <Breda McColgan Sun COM>]

Hi Shaun,

great idea -- thanks for organizing the documentation day :)

Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend -- my apologies.
However, just wanted to confirm that I will continue to provide the
documentation for the following modules for GNOME 2.8:
  * Calculator [gcalctool]
  * Text Editor [gedit]
  * Window List [gnome-panel]
  * Workspace Switcher [gnome-panel]


Perhaps those attending the documentation day would be interested in
reviewing the DocTable, to identify at least some of those jobs not yet
assigned -- and to see what jobs already have a writer, so that we don't
duplicate our efforts! 

The revised DocTable is available at the following URL:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/doctable--.html

An explanation of the revised format is available here:

Have fun on Sunday :)

Regards,
Breda.
