Hi Andy! I am willing to contribute to the effort of providing a user documentation for Joomla! 1.5 . Of course I will be able to participate as an English-speaker, but may also provide some translation in French as required (probably in a longer timeframe as suggested in the roadmap). Feel free to ask for any further information. Sincerely, Olivier [obotor] |

Hello and howdy! I am just now getting started with Joomla, but I am willing to offer my services for whatever is needed. I can proof read submissions, or work on any writing project that might be done. Please let me know if I am able to help in any way... Email would be best since I have just started here and my post count might be too low for me to send pms... Jason |

Hi, I'm a long time joomla user, actually since the begining (sept 05). I've builded many websites using joomla 1.0.x and my last one (not yet finished) using 1.5. My CSS/XHTML knowledge is good but my PHP is really minimal. I would say I can read it but not speak it or write it ! I build my websites locally using a WAMP environment and LAMP for online production. I am willing to contribute in providing a user documentation for Joomla! 1.5 . I do speak english (obviously !!) but my first lang is french in which i'm more at ease, especialy for writing. Although I read thousands of threads in the forum mainly for resolving issues concerning the deployement of my websites, I didn't submitted enough posts to be able to PM anyone. You can contact me (if you feel I can help here). Maximil |

Hi Andy, My name is Sam and I am a long time Joomla! user. I have used it since the beginning and I have built quite a few sites with Joomla! 1.x and now I am working on learning more about Joomla! 1.5 so that I can code my own components. My CSS / XHTML is pretty good and I know some PHP ( enough to get me in trouble ) ... I would love to help out in whatever capacity is possible. Best regards, Sam |

I've written a pretty basic tutorial on 1.5 herehttp://www.splendidesign.co.uk/index.php/services/splendidesign-guide-to-joomla-15-backend/ What do you think? Feel free to use it for 1.5 documentation. |

Hi Andy, There are howls for upgrade tutorials/manuals on the forum. I'll bet I could get several folks to work as a small team to produce exactly this. I can see some folks are working on this now but appear to me to be working alone. Please let me know if I can help. Congratulations on the release of 1.5 Stable. Frank |

Hi, You don't need to join the Documentation Working Group to get started. Just register at http://docs.joomla.org and you will automatically be given write access to the documentation wiki. A good place to start is the cookie jar: http://docs.joomla.org/Cookie_jar Thanks for volunteering. Regards, Chris. |

Hi all, I've been in touch a few times to hopefully get started in the Joomla Docs group, however lack of time unfortunately takes over. I've been going through the help site lately, and thought that I have an article on my site which could easily fit into the JTTP. http://www.dart-creations.com/joomla/jo ... tions.html Do I just register to the wiki and add it, or shall I send it to someone for any necessary revisions? PM if necessary. |

Hi dattard, Just register on the wiki and merge it into the appropriate pages. Bear in mind that you will need to remove the links to external sites as they would be considered link spam or self-promotion. Thanks, Chris. |

Hello, I just spent a bunch of time writing up several different ways to make Custom error pages in Joomla 1.5. Seems like something that people need and want to do. It's really useful if your launching a new version of a pre-existing non Joomla site. How do I go about posting this to the Tips and Tricks section of the docs area? And probably more importantly. Is the a reason that Joomla doesn't do this as part of the standard install? I'm not being sarcastic. It's kind of pointless to turn this into a article if people shouldn't be encouraged to do it. Thanks, Eric |
