Getting involved sprint scheduling

[Addison Berry-2]

The new Getting involved handbook needs some focused attention to get  
it going. I'd like to create the book and announce it to the larger  
community by Sept. 28. During the last IRC meeting we thought that  
maybe a few short virtual sprints focused just on this task might help  
since many folks aren't quite sure what needs to be done, or just have  
a hard time setting time aside for it.

I've set up a (large) Doodle at http://www.doodle.ch/participation.html?pollId=weeh8anybfx9fe54 
  for folks to indicate times next week that would be good. We'll  
schedule it out to overlap with as many people's schedules as we can.  
I'll post the sprint schedule on this list and on g.d.o on September  
20. Keep in mind that the sprint times will be broad (2+ hours each)  
but that each person can show up for whatever time they happen to have  
available in the window; be it 15 minutes or 2 hours.

Sorry about posting this late.

We'll go ahead and do two sprints this week to work on Getting  
Involved (we'll coordinate and discuss in the #drupal-docs IRC channel  
on the Freenode network):
Tuesday, Sept. 23 from 20:00 - 23:00 GMT (4pm - 7pm EDT)
Thursday, Sept 25 from 14:00 - 17:00 GMT (10am - 1pm EDT)

We will basically focus our time on fleshing out the contrib redesign  
issues to identify where all of the "getting involved" docs are in the  
exsting handbooks. We will also try to fill in gaps that we find and  
finally, draft up the front page announcement about the new book. Feel  
free to swing by #drupal-docs at any point during those windows to  
help out for however long you happen to have available. Someone will  
be in the channel to answer questions during those windows.

I'll post events on the group site later this evening.
