Hi!<p>I'm a freelance editor, and I'm looking to help open source projects by editing/proofreading their documentation.<p>Ideally I'm looking to work with something reasonably well-known so that I can provide maximum value and so I can use it for my CV, but I'm also open to helping smaller projects.<p>Do you know of any projects that might benefit from this, and would be happy to work with a reasonably non-technical person? (I'm okay with Git, but that's about my level.)<p>Thank you for your time, and thanks for any ideas you can give me!<p>Becca
I'd look at suggestions made by <i>mamaar</i> about projects with a lot of non-technical users.<p>I'd also look at projects where it is growing/big but the dev team is small enough that great documentation can sometimes be difficult for them to churn out.<p>> and would be happy to work with a reasonably non-technical person?<p>As long as you know how the system works and can explain things to users, that would already be a value-add to any project. If an OSS project can't appreciate your documentation, you simply walk away and contribute elsewhere.<p>Even on the internet, assholes and their projects eventually whither away if they can't appreciate any great contribution (granted, you must respect their processes and not become the asshole to their project).
Libre Office is a well known and big project with a large non-technical user base who can make use of some great documentation. As an editor the project might be relevant to yourself too. <a href="https://www.libreoffice.org/community/docs-team/" rel="nofollow">https://www.libreoffice.org/community/docs-team/</a>
