[TYPO3-doc] Reshaping the Documentation Team

[Ines Willenbrock]

Hi there,

as I said on the news post, I'd like to help.

Rewriting Documentation is somethink I feel I could help with, 
especially converting documentation.
Do you plan on manually converting the existing docs to reST or do you 
plan on automatic conversion?

Wiki: I'd like to get to know mediawiki, but am rather new in regards of 
that software, therefore I think I'll be of no immediate help.

Getting started and modern template building would, in my opinion, 
benefit from more than one editor. If someone like help, especially with 
proofreading and from an not too deep into the document perspective, I 
can help. If nobody claims them, I don't know, if I'll have the time to 
do it alone in a timely manner. As I'm new here, I'd like to help others 
rather than claiming widely exposed documents to get to know you.

regards - Ines
