Hi All 

Recently with the Google Season of Docs, quite a few of our projects were 
interested in applying to get some help with their documentation, so I’m 
thinking, what if we try and add some sort of documentation section to our 
ApacheCon hackathons.

If we have enough people from a project community we could start at a very 
basic level e.g writing up some install or very basic getting started docs. 

Another idea is that the projects who weren’t successful in getting a technical 
writer with Season of Docs, bring their idea and have a hackathon or Birds of a 
Feather session during ApacheCon to plan, prepare or write something that could 
help.

At one of the previous open source summits  I attended I saw a presentation on 
what they called ‘Book Sprints’ where a group of people got together for a 
fixed time period and then wrote the documentation and pubished it.  While we 
may not have the same time frame, perhaps doing at least a documentation proof 
of concept could be interesting for both Las Vegas and Berlin.

What do people think?

Thanks
Sharan
