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 <http://openetherpad.org/TSPGIEOBiS>. Other 
work that needs doing is:

  * Improve user and wiki documentation
      o Migrate remaining wiki pages
        <http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Wiki_Community/Migration_Instructions_from_Old_to_New_Xen_Wiki>
      o Pages that need reviewing/fixing
        <http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Category:Contains_Needs_Action>
      o Pages that need formatting
        <http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Category:Contains_Needs_Formatting>
      o Missing pages (many may just need to be migrated), some may be
        obsolete <http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Special:WantedPages>
  * 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 <http://openetherpad.org/TSPGIEOBiS>. I am 
sure, you will find something that suits you. Instructions on how to use 
the new wiki, can be found here 
<http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Wiki_Community> 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
