July 31 D7 docs IRC meeting summary and log
---------------
The full IRC log for Friday's IRC meeting (July 31) is located here: http://pastebin.com/f3e11e1c3

The main two items that we covered are:
1) We need to review, test, and update if needed, the existing Upgrade and Installation guides, preferably by August 14. Richard (sillygwailo) volunteered to take on review of the upgrade guide. Emma got in touch with Andre (andremolnar) outside of the meeting and he agreed to help with the Upgrade guide review as well. There is an issue for this at http://drupal.org/node/536854.

**** We still need someone to step up and work on the Installation guide review. **** Please use the issue (http://drupal.org/node/538054) to indicate you are working on it and post comments/questions.

2) We need to help with core docs issues. There are two main lists right now to work on:
- Core patches that need docs: http://drupal.org/project/issues/search/drupal?text=&assigned=&submitted=&participant=&status[]=13&status[]=8&status[]=14&version[]=7.x&issue_tags=Needs+Documentation
- Core issues in documentation component: http://drupal.org/project/issues/drupal?text=&status=Open&priorities=All&categories=All&version=All&component=documentation

We will begin having sprints to work on these. Emma (emmajane) has agreed to help mentor at sprints. We'd like to have at least 2 mentors at each sprint, and we can have them whenever mentors want to run them, convenient to them. Ideally we should have at least a handful during the month of August. The first sprints will be ideal times for people who want to learn to mentor, as well as just get work done. More on this will be coming in a followup post.

I'd be glad to be a mentor on core patching sprints. I have been
patching a lot of these issues anyway... would be great to have some
help from other coders who can write doc!

Woot! I figured you would be on board since you have been hauling ass  
on this already, but I didn't want to volunteer you in absentia. :-)

Thanks
