This month's Hug Day will focus on <<<TARGET>>>!

Documentation Hug Days

The DocumentationTeam runs a monthly Hug Day - a day to concentrate on a specified area of the documentation, whilst bolstering community involvement..

Abstract

There are three types of Hug Day - QA, Repair and Improvement.

QA Hug Days are to actively seek problems in the documentation, such as redundant pages, duplication and inaccurate information.

Repair Hug Days address issues found on QA Hug Days or other issues identified by the team (such as clean up or converting categories to tags).

Improvement days will focus on developing new pages on specifically requested topics. This is envisaged to coincide with the proposed usage of brainstorm.

When

It would be best if we could nominate a particular date each month to provide consistency and make it easier to develop promotional or marketing material for this initiative. For example the first Saturday of the month.

I suggest we look at availability within the team and discuss the best day.

Promotion

The promotion of Hug Days is essential, this section is to identify possible routes to our target audience. Initially establishing a high visibility for this initiative is essential for it to succeed.

Asking questions

The Documentation Team's members will be available throughout the day in #ubuntu-doc on irc.freenode.net any questions can be asked there. Members are asked to note what times are convenient for them and add their availability to this page.

Suggesting and picking topics

Topics will be added to his page and picked based on discussion through the DocumentationTeam mailing list.

This is a list of suggested hug day topics and can be added to by anyone. Please add your name to your suggestion so that we can seek clarification if needed.

• Categories to tags - These topics are in need of cleanup but they are labelled using category rather than a tag. Each page needs CategoryCleanup removed from the bottom of the page and a suitable tag added to clarify why it needs cleanup. --DougieRichardson

• Wiki to Community - A lot of pages that are on the team Wiki should be on the community wiki. This page lists those which should be moved and how to do it. --DougieRichardson
