I am ready to assist with reading materials from time to time but I am afraid I will not have time to fully dedicate to this initiative. I want to make sure I deliver what I commit to.
Are we able to recruit someone new from our community? Do we have anyone?
I am going to admit here that one of my plans was to do a simple and basic Inkscape course, all based on YouTube videos, in my native language (Brazilian Portuguese) after noticing that there is no single source of learning the basics of Inkscape with good quality and consistency.
I have never recorded videos before but I have created multiple written training material both in step by step, user guides and in tutorial fashion. I even bought the basic course from Nick Saporito about Inkscape so I could learn all the basics as well as to learn with his teaching style and to close my gaps on the features I was not aware of before
Wish me good luck. Planning this for this year. Just trying to decide if the course would be for 0.92.x or 1.0 release

The website admin stands ready to make you a team if you need one.
For community management though, I would put together a recruitment drive with the vector's team. You'll want to encourage new people who've never contributed to join you a space that they'll be comfortable with. That might be the rocket chat, or it could be the forums. But having that soft landing page with a warm welcome will be really important to growing the team.
The other thing is leadership. I've seen a few different people working on documentation and tutorials and such. Do you have any idea about who might want to lead the team, organise meetings or prioritise work?
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi Victor, This message is more about creating the team page on the website, along with all the other teams. There really is not a team currently, so I'm just asking, should there be one? I'm thinking there should be.
I remember that Patrick was recently lamenting about the lackof enough people to review tutorials before 1.0 is released. And having a formal team would go a long way toward making sure there are enough people to do the work, in the future.
But in general, the team would work on any kind ofdocumentation, which would include not just existing documentation, but potentially new tutorials or even a manual, in the future.
Thanks, brynn

Hi Brynn,
Hope you are well. The idea is good! What is in your/our road map in the documentation team?
What do you believe we will need to work on? ;)

Hi Friends, In conjunction with the new Tutorials page, and callfor new tutorial authors to join, I'm thinking maybe a Documentation team should be created (on the website Teams page)? It might at least be a good starting place, to think about a new community-managed manual, and all kinds of other documentation.
