Hello mailing list subscribers! My name is Rachel. I am a Washington D.C. transplant to the Midwest. My professional background is in technical writing and business analysis. I have been an OpenOffice user for the last three years.
Recently I have been pulled into roles and projects requiring fewer technical writing responsibilities, which has been disappointing because I really love documentation for all of its usefulness, and I hate to see organizations give it a low priority. So here I am hoping to get the fulfillment of creating beautiful documentation while also lending my time to a worthy cause. I have the skills to act as an Author and Editor, so my stretch goal is to gain the knowledge necessary to also become a Toolsmith for the Documentation Team. Basically I just want to help docs get produced and moved! So far I have been able to create a CWiki account, and it looks like much of that content has been migrated to another version of Confluence. Or am I misunderstanding the comments on the Documentation Volunteer and Directory of Volunteers pages? I don't have the option to edit any of the current pages. And right now I am unable to create an MWiki account because the sign up validation feature isn't functioning properly. I see the instruction "To help protect against automated account creation, please select just the cat photos in the box below:" and nothing is displayed. To get assistance with this, is my best bet to haunt the user forums or does someone on the list know a more direct route to obtain help? I have been able to rule out the issue being browser-related. Any guidance is appreciated! Rachel
