April is Documentation Month!

This content is cross-posted from OpenWorm Foundation blog.
Based on popular demand, April will be “Docs Month” within the OpenWorm Foundation. The month will be filled with reevaluating our organizational docs, in addition to putting together a proposal (in conjunction with INCF) for the inaugural Google Season of Docs
If you have a technical writing background, we can work on a community contribution, which can include (but is not limited to) the following current organizational needs:
1) building an OpenWorm Wiki, which might reference special topics and within the subprojects. 
2) website redesign so as to make it easy to find key information (e.g. people, how to get to Slack, Github, Docker and Blender models). 
3) help refine a reference document started by Senior Contributor Gopal Sarma. 
4) an inventory of projects and docs that align with current organizational goals. 
5) a reorganization of all project docs, mainly merging DevoWorm, NeuroML, Geppetto, and other assorted docs into one location. 
6) help with the educational curriculum. 
7) find and write specs for “casual contributor-friendly” contributions.
Let's get working! 
UPDATE (4/26): We submitted an application by the deadline that incorporates many of these elements. If you are interested in learning more, please join our Slack team and join the #documentation channel, or contact me via e-mail.
