I saw this announcement at Drupal.org:
for the next 8 weeks, the students in my technical writing class will be creating an end user documentation manual for Drupal 4.5. In the spring, I hope to have students work on OpenOffice user documentation. While there are only a few technical writing class offerings in the program, we anticipate additional sections writing documentation for other open source apps in the future.
Of course I had to check out the OSDDP site. It is, of course, powered by Drupal, using the project module to collaborate on tasks. They've also enabled authentication using any Drupal account, making it easy for anyone already running a Drupal site to login.
This is a great project, and I can only see great things coming from it. And the timing is good as well. We're a few weeks away from launching our hosted services and have started a push to work on the Drupal User Guide we're putting together on our wiki. Since the OSDDP insists on a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license, I've added that as the license for our entire public wiki (it's just on the front page for now -- we'll add it to the footer so that it is displayed on every page).
As part of our Drupal User Guide, I wrote up a piece on Different Node Types, which will hopefully serve as a primer in understanding the four text-based node types: story, page, book, and blog. The book module guide is also mainly complete.
We'll have to find a way to co-ordinate our efforts, but we'll definitely be supporting and participating in this project. As Roland would say...go, Drupal, go!
