- Everyone can edit and review: if you help with docs you are on the team- Doc admins have additional responsibilities but you don’t need them to be “on the team”

Accomplishments

- Getting Involved guide- open editing- Reorg the theme guide* the big win is that we are opening up and working together rather than in isolated tasks

The road ahead

- New Help system linking code and d.othere is a patch that will let us make a Documentation module for fulldocs in your Drupal site, and then have it sync with D.o pages- Internationalization

Redesign - lots of things still need to be defined, organized and built
