The Gist

I thought it might be useful to write down my goals for the following year somewhere public. That way everybody can hold me accountable. Here’s what I hope to accomplish by this time next year:

• Complete Mallard, the system that will allow us to write better user help more effectively.
• Get Pulse running in a production setup to allow us to better track our documentation.
• Completely revamp the User Guide, Accessibility Guide, and System Administrator Guide.
• Systematically review and improve all of the API references in our Platform.
• Rewrite the Documentation Handbook and the Style Guide.
• Update the Platform Overview.
• Nag the appropriate people to get a new version of the HIG.
• Drive the development of a hands-on tutorial (roughly 200 pages) on programming with Gnome technologies.

Can it be done? I hope so. Because all that stuff combined would seriously rock.

Update: Added lots of links.
