[Bsod-mentors] Re: Bsod-ideas and comments

[info at macouno.com]

Hello guys.

It looks like we're making a good start here.

I'm wondering though, is it the general consensus that the end result will end up in 
Wiki pages? Or is it an option to add something to the blender.org site? Or even 
make it downloadable in one package?

It might be a good idea to keep the resulting docs sepparate from the existing wiki 
docs, since this is basicly going to be "official blender documentation"? Or is 
everyone of the opinion that we should in fact try to fill gaps in the docs that are 
already there?

I have to say that making the authors write within a pre-made template is a must. 
There should be one style/layout for all de bsod docs.

The noob to pro section already has a lot of documentation:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro

There's also already a manual on there:
http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/Manual

These are all linked through the using blender/tutorials section at blender.org

Where do we see the new docs fitting in?

I agree that we shouldn't overcomplicate submissions. People's writing styles and 
skills will be represented in their submission synopsis.

I think assigning a mentor to each author is a good idea, but I don't think there's so 
much mentoring to be done that you'd need a 1 on 1 connection. Mentors can 
handle multiple authors I'd say.

I'll come up with more later, perhaps it's a good idea to put a "bsod 
regulations/methods draft" online somewhere so we don't have to read through 
these mails for all ideas but can in stead refer to points in there.
