Cross-posted to both the web team list and the doc-team list. Sorry.

In the postscript to my last message to the web team, an old uncertainty I have had for a while crept up. What is (or should be) the separate duties of the web and doc teams?

By my understanding, the Web team is solely responsible for the maintenance of the www.squeak.org site. I started the Doc team, because I saw a lack of good tutorials, but mostly what I have been doing is Swiki cleanup, which seems more like website maintenance work. The other members of the doc team have been writing tutorials and screencasts, but not me.

This is not really a problem until one wants to collaborate with others on a particular cleanup task. Simon Michael has said he would be interested in such a task. Perhaps Swiki cleanup could be a joint effort between the doc team and web teams, and we could host a "Page of the week/month" type focus. That seems quite on target with the web-team list, where folks gather to discuss page edits. Might that be a good idea? If so, where should it be hosted? on the web team list? the doc team list? or on the Swiki? I don't want to have to cross-post again.

If there is interest, I know just where to start... ;-)

The Swiki is the whole communitys responsibility. But is needs attention, lots of it :-) I'm not sure where to start tho. And the content on the Swiki seem to go stale fast. There has been several attempts and suggestions etc of updating and building other means of documentation but none has surfaced that I know of. I guess its just the "do as much as you can" that will make any difference... Karl
