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.
User perspective:
If you want something big I’d pitch nixos. As in the core distribution. It’s a documentation nightmare and as a user I had to go over options search and then trying to figure out what they mean more often than I found a comprehensive documentation.
That would be half writing and half coordinating writers though I suspect.
Another great project with mixed quality documentation is openhab. It fits the bill of more backend heavy side and the devs are very open in my experience. I see it actually as superior in its core concepts to the way more popular home assistant in every aspect except documentation!
That said: thanks for putting the effort in! ♥
Thank you. I’ll look into NixOS as we need Linux documentation to welcome more users from Windows.
