To be formal....
Speaking on behalf of myself, with the honorable Docs community in
mind, I do hereby Second the proposal forwarded by Mr Grisanzio from the
Great State of California.
Great idea Jim. This is something the docs community has wanted very
much to do but the rubber hadn't quite hit the road yet. All the
enthusiasm around the idea is wonderful and I'm 110% behind it.
I yield the remainder of my time to the Honorable Mr. Hahn.

Here is a proposal to form a project to produce article content for
opensolaris.org.
OpenSolaris Articles Project
Community members have been asking if they can write articles for
opensolaris.org and what the process would be to produce those articles. Yes,
we'd love the content, and no, there's no process right now.
The website guidelines say that individual communities are responsible for
their own content -- for accuracy, adherence to TOU, etc -- but we don't have
any process for developing community-wide content. This proposed Articles
Project would develop the necessary processes for article generation and
solicit contributors. We'd have to decide what content is needed, who'd
write/edit/produce that content, how it would be reviewed for accuracy, in what
form it would be published, and where it would be published.
So, let's start a project to:
* implement an article content review and publishing process
* solicit and publish articles from the community
* grow that process into a peer-reviewed, community-led system
Initially, the project will provide support for community members interested in
writing, editing, and reviewing OpenSolaris content for the Articles page:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/articles/. These articles could also be used as
content for conferences, journals, and other forums.
We could develop all kinds of community-wide content, including feature articles, community profiles, technical articles, commentaries, and Q&As. Over time, the project could expand the Articles page to include more multi-media content such as artwork, podcasts, screencasts, and videos.
I suppose we'd need a list. How about [EMAIL PROTECTED]
That's it. What do you think?
Jim
