Documentation sprint, 2013-01-19, in #minetest-doc
Minetest core is a volunteer effort, but the barrier to entry is too high. In a series of changes meant to lower that, we're going to hold an event meant to help people understand the engine: A documentation sprint!
What: Documentation sprint for Minetest
Where: #minetest-doc on Freenode and http://dev.minetest.net
When: 2013-01-19 16:00 UTC to 2013-01-20 01:00 UTC
Come in to the channel, chat about the game, read some code, and write (or edit!) helpful documentation. Not a coder? That's fine, too! Document things about the community, how to create texture packs, or even how to write and edit documentation (meta-meta-documentation is probably not necessary).
We hope to achieve a more complete guide to contributing to the game engine, as well as being part of the community. We may not finish it that day, but it will sure be a great start!
Postscript: We could also meet up in real life in the Bay Area, if anyone is interested.

I have started writing a manual, it is available on github: https://github.com/rubenwardy/minetest-manual
and on my website: http://multa.bugs3.com/minetest/manual/
Anybody is welcome to add to it, it is meant to be a joint community effort.

WOOT!
I'll probably miss this, but I cant wait to see what comes out of it.
Good luck all you who can articulate well!

+1 This is a great idea, I've got a few contracts that need finishing this weekend but hopefully I will be able to get a few hours out to give a hand in this.
EDIT: I've just seen that Celeron55 has announced this on his blog which is cool, maybe Thexyz or Celeron55 could also add a notice to the header of the forum (where the current message is about the forum being hosted elsewhere) that could help getting this thread some more traffic, as its kind of hidden away here hehe ^_^.
