| − | The site copy team is now accepting applications for membership. If you want to be considered, please follow the following steps: | + | The site copy team will be working on rewriting all the text on the site. Gulp. We are: |
| | | | |
| − | * Choose a page on the site ([[Pages needing cleaning]] may be useful; replace htdocs with http://www.rahaeli.hack.dreamwidth.org/ using username/password posted to dw-docs) that you plan to update, and check that nobody else has claimed it (as we'll hopefully be using many of them, and duplicating effort is silly). Make sure it's something that has more than about three words of text. | + | *<dwuser>rho</dwuser> (Leading the project) - CLA signed |
| − | * Add your name to the list below. | + | *<dwuser>ephemera</dwuser> - CLA signed |
| − | * Re-write the page you've chosen, from scratch. For now, just do it in a text editor, and don't worry about the site translation interface (which is what we'll be using to update the text). Pay special attention to our [[Manual of Style]] and out [[terminology]], but within those guidelines, write the page the way ''you'' think it should be written. You can pretty much disregard existing text entirely. | + | *<dwuser>fae</dwuser> - CLA signed |
| − | * Email your new version of the text to [[user:rho|rho]] at rho@rho.me.uk, in plain text format only. Use the subject line "Dreamwidth Site Copy Team". Be aware that I may show the text to others within the Dreamwidth project, though I won't share your email address. | + | *<dwuser>ysobel</dwuser> - CLA signed |

| | | | |
| − | Anyone selected for the team who's going to have their text appear on site will have to sign a [http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85 CLA].
| + | At this point, rho is still willing to consider applications, but will only be accepting new people into the team if they have the right set of skills to complement those already there. |
