Hi,
I’m a technical writer looking to build my portfolio in technical documentation. I’ve written technical blogs, how-to guides, and white papers for SaaS brands, but I want to gain experience working on back-end documentation.
I’m familiar with Python, HTML, CSS, C/C++ (to some extent), and SQL. Additionally, I’ve done considerable writing for cloud computing clients, so I have a solid understanding of cloud concepts.
I can work with Markdown, Git, or even Google Docs.
Please let me know if you’re working on an open-source project that could use some documentation. Alternatively, if you know of an existing open-source tool that could benefit from documentation, I’d be happy to contact the developer.
Nix
Blender or GIMP? Idk.
I will go out on a limb and say FreeCAD and KiCAD specifically in examples. Right now you have to search forum posts and videos to find out how to make something work and it is always an older version completely irrelevant to the current version.
For other things that need note basic general and setup documentation:
Traefik: It is only decodable to experienced people right now. I tried about 15 tutorials a few years ago and SmartHomeBeginner was the only one that actually was able to connect to the internet and didn’t “rest of the fucking owl” it
Authelia could also use some documentation updates specifically around the area of integrations.
Libopencm3 also could use some more complete documentation instead of basic API descriptions, but the project is not very active anymore
Opensuse Aeon and Kalpa could also use some documentation love, especially Kalpa.
If you are looking to volunteer on a project, I’m currently working on documentation on an open source project. This one is not a paid job and I’m volunteering my own time for this. If you are interested we can discuss further.
It’s a project involving mainly JavaScript and a web based application for the end user.
I can’t post links and other details here, since it will directly doxx my account
Another suggestion to help on NixOs. There is quite some demand for what NixOs delivers so any work done should benefit from useful feedback.
