Hi everybody,

after the last Xen Document Day, many people asked me when we would do another document day. After a discussion on the mailing list, we settled on next Tuesday (November 29). This will be an all-day on-line IRC event with the aim to

Improve user documentation
Improve developer documentation, including the creation of man pages, etc.

There is no hard start and end to the event, but volunteers in the UK will be on-line on Nov 29th from around 9:00 UTC+1 until around 18:00 UTC+1, and then volunteers from the US will take over. The event will be take place on freenode channel #xendocday

An intial work item lists and what we agreed on can be found on the Documentation Day Etherpad. Other work that needs doing is:

Improve user and wiki documentation
Improve developer documentation, including the creation of man pages, etc.

But anyway, a long list of stuff that is needed can be found on the Documentation Day Etherpad. I am sure, you will find something that suits you. Instructions on how to use the new wiki, can be found here and on the front-page.

The Protocol

Join us on IRC: freenode channel #xendocday
Tell people what you intend to work on (to avoid doing something somebody else is already working on)
Fix some documentation
Help others
And above all: have fun!

I am looking forward to the day and hopefully documentation days will become a regular Xen event. See you on IRC!

Regards
Lars
