I would like to announce the creation of the editorial team, a group of community members in charge of editing the contents of our websites, in particular GetGNULinux.org .
Our activity is growing not only in size but also in scope — which means that leading members are spending more and more of their time working on community growth, enabling faster translation, developing new things, and trying to reach to a larger audience. The editing of the existing websites (initially done on the basis of 1-to-1 mail exchanges and occasional re-readings) should not suffer from this; it deserves better.
The editorial group will allow faster reaction and improvement of website contents. It will focus on the English sites (modifications to which are ported automatically into our translation system) and be led by a handful of editors.
We already have a long list of pending changes and we frequently receive more suggestions by mail or through the forum. From dated screenshots, awkward phraseologies, to missing information (although our intention is not to build an exhaustive reference), there is plenty of room for improvement.
It is our wish to see more people involved in the direct editing of our websites. As is commonplace within free software development projects, leading contributors will progressively obtain commit rights and authority.
If you have a good understanding of our work, purpose, and intended audience, we warmly invite you to participate!
