As promised, thanks to Heather's work in helping me sort out some PHPBB
permissions issues, we now have a forum for Documentation in the Open
Source section of the forums:
<http://forums.runrev.com/viewforum.php?f=83>
One way I see this as becoming a productive working group is for
proposals for documentation enhancement to be explored in the section
there labeled "Brainstorms", and when they become refined to the point
of being actionable they get elevated to the "Projects" list below it.
Ideally each project would have a team of people in a position to carry
it through, perhaps with a team leader to facilitate whatever
coordination may be needed among team members and the relevant RunRev staff.
As your Community Manager, I'm at your disposal to help remove any
obstacles you may encounter along the way which impair successful
completion of Documentation projects. If resources to complete a
project, whether code or human, are needed from the core dev team at
RunRev, please let me know so I can be sure to discuss that with the
team at first opportunity.

The other day I wrote:
The core team at RunRev has been working on a rewrite of the User Guide
for a future version, where the scope of changes in the engine will very
much require it.
But in the meantime there's been much discussion in my meetings with
them about the possibility of an interim update, which will be needed at
least through the remainder of the v6.x series and possibly into v7.
I recently created a new section in the Forums for "Documentation" -
it's not yet active (Heather and I are sorting out a PHPBB issue), but
the goal there is to see if our community is at the place yet that all
good open source projects eventually arrive, where we're big enough to
have a Documentation Team among community members.
The folks at RunRev have been anticipating that, and have included Docs
in their outline for community contributors:
<http://livecode.com/community/contribute-to-livecode/#%20Writing%20Documentation>
To get started we'd need only about three to five people, with one of
them willing to be the team leader.
If anyone here is interested in participating please drop me a note and
we'll get that discussion going just as soon as Heather and I can put
the new Documentation forum online.
