If you're interested in our ongoing effort to provide good documentation on our collaborative works, we'll be doing a website 'gardening' session on Thursday December 22, and coordinating in real-time in this public chatroom:

https://publiclaboratory.campfirenow.com/1db72

We'll need people who are interested in editing/proofreading pages, people who have worked on tools and can help write short tutorials or upload helpful imagery, etc.

Pitch in and help make our open source science documentation a bit more accessible!

Tasks:

If you are part of a local PLOTS chapter, this is a good chance to get your pages up to date with the latest happenings!

• providing good background summaries for every tool
• offering contextual information for every place page (for local PLOTS chapters)
• making tool pages informative and helpful for newcomers who want to try making a tool
• offering places for people to start contributing to a project (a "where we need help" section for each project)
• generally illustrating the work we've all done to date in a coherent way
• move sub-tools into wiki pages, like stereo camera and telemetry kit
• provide consistent and thorough intro and "getting involved" and "getting started" info on each tool page, maybe each place page
• list who's "keeper" for each tool/place page?
• open hardware licensing for tools
• clean up pages - create a Tool page template -
  • Context, need
  • Concise desc. of tool
  • Parts and price list
  • Goals, next steps towards them
• create formating for pages--research notes and data analysis
• interlink related pages

• document collaborators
