Request ddp-team Project in Salsa

[Sergio Moraes]

Hello DDP team,

I've requested access to the ddp-project repo a few minutes ago (username:
sergiomoraes).

I have experience as a Knowledge and Content Management Specialist and I'd
like to contribute to Debian's Documentation if possible.

After reviewing the information in debian.org/doc/ddp I see that, ideally,
people should contribute in some way prior to requesting access to repos.
In that case, I wonder if anyone is available to guide me on how/where to
get started.

Thank you!

Thanks a lot for your interest and sorry for replying this late: we
lack volunteers, obviously...

For starting contributing: there are quite some bugs open to the various
packages maintained by the ddp team.

The flag ship document of our team would be
https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes . Bugs in the release-notes
can be found at https://bugs.debian.org/src:release-notes .

Bugs in the Debian FAQ document can be found at
https://bugs.debian.org/src:debian-faq .

Other documents are listed at https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team , and more
indexes are available from https://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals and at
https://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals and the one at
https://www.debian.org/doc/misc-manuals#history and then there's also the
doc-debian package.

Ideally you yourself would have found some bug or issue with one of our
documents and then try to fix that yourself; asking for specific help once you
run into some obstacle.

Once you've got a good patch ready for applying, I'd be happy to grant you
commit access to the relevant documentation git repo's.

For myself, I'm currently mainly focused on doc-debian; once I've managed to
upload that I'm planning to focus on Debian FAQ again.

You can contact us via this list or via the irc channel on irc.OFTC.net,
channel #debian-doc.

Hope this gets you going!

Bye,

Joost

Sure. I agree it is usually a good idea filing bug reports or merge
requests with patches first.

As I wrote in the following, self-leranng is the primary path forward.

Please read links from:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/ch02.en.html#contribute


Also poke around: https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team

FYI: Current cron script needs to be updated, I think if it still use
doc packages from ftp service. We should change to use https. This
code is:

https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/cron

Specifically: 1ftpfiles

https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/cron/-/blob/master/parts/1ftpfiles

Please note many documents are outdated so trust only the actual
publishing infrature. For most pages, (this is web team)

https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml
