Thanks, all. After some Eliot-magic, here's the final: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hello from WebPlatform.org! We are emailing you because you registered for a WebPlatform.org Doc Sprint at some time in the past. We thought you'd like to know what wešve been up to recently. Also, we would like to make sure youšre still active in WebPlatform.org. (If you don't want to receive emails, please email julee@adobe.com <mailto:julee@adobe.com> and I'll remove you from this list.) We have been working to improve the experience for folks like you, who want to contribute content and code or otherwise participate. We have a long way to go, but we've accomplished a few key things: Getting started experience Based on surveys and 1-1 feedback, we've updated these important pages: * Getting Started <http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Getting_Started> experience * Editorial Guide <http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Editors_Guide> Give them a whirl and let us know <http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Editors_Guide/step_2_communicate_with_ the_online_community> (on the IRC or the public list) what you think. code.webplatform.org At http://code.webplatform.org <http://code.webplatform.org/> , we've installed a playground! You can sketch a code idea, test a sample, and then share your code. Right now, you share it by adding the key snippet to the article page and also linking to the example on code.webplatform.org (for an example, see http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/css/properties/box-shadow <http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/css/properties/box-shadow> ). In the next round, your examples can be embedded directly in the article. See Creating a living code example <http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Manual_Of_Style/Sample_best_practices# Creating_a_live_code_example> in Sample best practices for instructions. project.webplatform.org We have just installed a new projects space, http://project.webplatform.org <http://project.webplatform.org/> . Besides filing issues and enhancements there, you can: * have your own dashboard showing what's on your plate * assign yourself tasks for the next time you stop by * get a bird's eye view of any project area Again, we're in Alpha here, so a lot of patience and feedback is much appreciated. More Doc Sprints coming More Doc Sprints are coming all of the time. If you're in San Francisco next week, please sign up for the upcoming San Francisco Doc Sprint <http://www.sfhtml5.org/events/109202662/> at Google. We have a wait list, but we're expecting quite a few spots to open. Join the drive toward Beta and give feedback We would like to move quickly to declare Beta. But that depends on the help we get. So please help. If you're available to edit CSS properties pages, contribute examples, help with the MediaWiki LAMP infrastructure, or just want to hit some of the low-hanging fruit on the Getting Started page <http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Getting_Started> , please do! And let us know <http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Editors_Guide/step_2_communicate_with_ the_online_community> what you think overall about your experience. Looking forward to documenting the web with you all! The busy folks at WebPlatform.org. (And again, if you don't want to receive emails, please email julee@adobe.com <mailto:julee@adobe.com> and I'll remove you from this list.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- j ---------------------------- julee@adobe.com @adobejulee From: Peter Lubbers <peterlubbers@google.com> Date: Thursday, March 28, 2013 10:43 AM To: Scott Rowe <scottrowe@google.com> Cc: julee <julee@adobe.com>, Doug May <intuedge@gmail.com>, "public-webplatform@w3.org" <public-webplatform@w3.org> Subject: Re: Email to Doc Sprint registrants Looks good!
