The information on this page is very irrelevant and confusing to me, |
18 |
as a developer. |

I don't know how many non-developer documenters we have. I don't know |
21 |
what needs to happen to that text itself, but a section about how |
22 |
current developers join the documentation team is important. Looking |
23 |
at the page, a person must complete the staff and doc quizzes. For a |
24 |
developer, it seems that the requirements should simply be 1) to have |
25 |
become a developer and 2) completed the doc quiz. |
