Anyone looking to clear things with an employer, I've pushed a LICENSE file (MIT) to the root of the repo. If we like we can revisit this and go with creative-commons, but for now since we're planning on slurping up docs from the core repo I started us with that license.

[chrisdickinson]

I've invited everyone that's responded to this thread! If I've missed you, A) I apologize! and B) respond to the issue again and I'll invite you :)

[chesles]

Is it too late to join? (john@chesl.es)

[targos]

I am interested as well :)

[yorkie]

Yorkie(yorkiefixer@gmail.com) is interested as well, recently I was working on a fork of YUIDoc(https://github.com/fireball-x/firedoc) so that i'm very happy if i can contribute to the docs part of node, thank you :)

[tlhunter]

I'm in

[MylesBorins]

me!

[Qard]

All are, of course, welcome. :)

Just a note: we are currently in a transition stage of migrating content to https://github.com/nodejs/new.nodejs.org. If you want to add new content, please make your PRs there.

I'm planning on spending some time Friday evening to remove the content files from this repo and write a bit on the process of contributing docs.

[techjeffharris]

I, Jeff Harris, have been interested in finding a way to contribute to back to node and I believe the Docs WG would be a good starting point!

[stevemao]

Steve Mao
Please count me in for English docs. Thanks :)

[rubo-21]

Me (rubenyeghikyan@gmail.com / @rubo-21)

[kahwee]

I'm in too, I'll be more than happy to help the community. Email: t@kw.sg @kahwee

[chrisdickinson]

Welcome, all! I'll do a run through tomorrow AM and get everyone added to the appropriate places.

As a heads up:

Just a note: we are currently in a transition stage of migrating content to https://github.com/nodejs/new.nodejs.org. If you want to add new content, please make your PRs there.

This has since changed! We're currently in the process of ratification, and as part of that we'll be looking to work inside of the nodejs/node repo itself.

[ryansobol]

Ryan Sobol is in.

[thefourtheye]

Please count me in

[DavidTPate]

Count me in!

[benjamingr]

I was already added as a collaborator to the repo (no one talked to me about it :P) as I said before I'd love to help with issues and review doc PRs and help. I can help with small contained tasks (like reviewing PRs, 1 hour meetings, or writing something but I don't really have the ability to commit to longer term projects).

[r-52]

Please count me in, too

[rodmachen]

I'd like to join this WG. I'm new-ish to Node, but have many years as an English teacher and journalist that I can put to use.

Looking forward to it.

[rvagg]

I think "new-ish to Node" is actually a bonus here! Outside perspective is fantastic, thanks @rodmachen!

[Qard]

Absolutely. It's easy for those of us with our heads deep into the depths of node to miss deficiencies in the surface material of our docs and general presentation to new users. 😸

[eljefedelrodeodeljefe]

I'm in: Robert Jefe Lindstaedt @eljefedelrodeodeljefe

[chrisdickinson]

Closing this in favor of #63. I will be sending invites to the following folk who raised their hand:

@kosamari
@a0viedo
@ryansobol

@DavidTPate
@romankl
@rodmachen

Docs WG membership privileges and responsibilities are outlined here.

You should be receiving an invite to the Docs WG Slack and the nodejs/documentation GitHub team. I'll be sending the invite to the email associated with your GitHub account. If you don't have an address associated, email me at christopher.s.dickinson at gmail dot com and I'll send that email an invite.

Thanks all! Looking forward to working with you.

[danjenkins]

I'd love to put my hat in the ring, I hear it's not too late? - been looking for a way to give back to node and this seems perfect.

[rdodev]

I'm game. Can help with Spanish translations, if need be.

[kwhinnery]

Hey there - will help out if I can!

[rdodev]

Clarifying: I'm game for all documentation work and participation in WG. The Spanish bit was as side benefit 😀

[Knighton910]

Sounds interesting. 💯

Thanks @chrisdickinson for the invite 🎱

[chrisdickinson]

I could not find an email for the following folks. If you're listed below and are still interested in participating, could you please email christopher.s.dickinson at gmail dot com?

@kwhinnery
@rdodev
@rubo-21
@stevemao
@romankl

Thanks!

[rdodev]

@chrisdickinson email sent confirming desire to participate.

[stevemao]

Strange. I was invited to the organisation. Sent you my email @chrisdickinson :)

[rdodev]

Hey there, haven't gotten word or ACK of receipt, please let me know if this is a go. Thanks. :)

[chrisdickinson]

Sorry for the delay all — I took yesterday off! I'll circle back and add everyone that emailed me this afternoon.

[cezaraugusto]

hey @chrisdickinson, is this still the go-to place for docs volunteering? came from https://github.com/nodejs/getting-started/blob/master/contribute_to_node.md which lead me to https://github.com/nodejs/docs/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md which lead me to here.

[prahaladbelavadi]

Count me in! @prahaladbelavadi
