.. post:: 2013-09-30 09:00:00 Writing a Beginners Guide to Documentation ========================================== A few days ago I :doc:`started a campaign ` to improve documentation. Today I have the first results to show from this work. It started first with a `presentation`_ that I presented at PDX Python here in Portland. The talk was very well received, so I decided to write it up. So, I present `A beginners guide to writing documentation`_. It is still very much a work in progress, so I hope that you can provide feedback. The idea behind the presentation and document is to allow people modify and present it themselves. I am hoping to build documents and presentations for other aspects of documentation as well. If you want to give this presentation, I would love for you to `email me`_. As I said, this work was done as part of my ongoing work on Documentation. If you think this work is important, you should `support me on Gittip`_. .. _presentation: http://docs.writethedocs.org/en/latest/presentations/#beginner-presentations .. _A beginners guide to writing documentation: http://docs.writethedocs.org/en/latest/writing/beginners-guide-to-docs/ .. _support me on Gittip: http://www.gittip.com/ericholscher .. _email me: mailto:eric@ericholscher.com
