July 31 D7 docs IRC meeting summary and log
---------------
The full IRC log for Friday's IRC meeting (July 31) is located here: http://pastebin.com/f3e11e1c3
1) We need to review, test, and update if needed, the existing
Upgrade and Installation guides, preferably by August 14. Richard
(sillygwailo) volunteered to take on review of the upgrade guide.
Emma got in touch with Andre (andremolnar) outside of the meeting
and he agreed to help with the Upgrade guide review as well. There
is an issue for this at http://drupal.org/node/536854.
**** We still need someone to step up and work on the Installation
guide review. **** Please use the issue (http://drupal.org/node/
538054) to indicate you are working on it and post comments/questions.
2) We need to help with core docs issues. There are two main lists
- Core patches that need docs: http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?text=&assigned=&submitted=&participant=&status
[]=13&status[]=8&status[]=14&version[]=7.x&issue_tags=Needs
+Documentation
- Core issues in documentation component: http://drupal.org/project/issues/drupal?text=&status=Open&priorities=All&categories=All&version=All&component=documentation
We will begin having sprints to work on these. Emma (emmajane) has
agreed to help mentor at sprints. We'd like to have at least 2
mentors at each sprint, and we can have them whenever mentors want
to run them, convenient to them. Ideally we should have at least a
handful during the month of August. The first sprints will be ideal
times for people who want to learn to mentor, as well as just get
work done. More on this will be coming in a followup post.

I'd be glad to be a mentor on core patching sprints. I have been
patching a lot of these issues anyway... would be great to have some
help from other coders who can write doc!
