Hi Thierry, Thanks a lot for being a volunteer! <div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Dear team member,</div><div>We now have 3 volunteers for the Google Doc Sprint '13, so we'll start filling in an organization application form. Those volunteers are:</div>
<div>- Thierry (Criezy)</div><div>- Adrian (RichieSams)</div><div>- and I</div><div><br></div><div>We have 2 days to finalize the form, which means 2 days to find up to 2 additional volunteers.</div><div><br></div><div>So, if you are available during this period and interested in joining the effort, don't be shy! We need your help!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Arnaud</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><br></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Aug 4, 2013 at 11:40 PM, Thierry Crozat <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:criezy@scummvm.org" target="_blank">criezy@scummvm.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div><div><br></div><div>Based on the feedback available from the previous years, each Book Sprint is exhausting with </div><div>13h+/day working on documentation, but the result is a really looking great, professional, manual.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Once in a while, someone mentions that we need a consolidated user guide. This is a unique </div><div>opportunity to reach this objective, and have a multi-format user guide for the future.</div><div>
<br>
</div><div>But first, we of course need to register as an organization and get selected by Google.</div><div><br></div><div>In order to do so, we ideally need 3 to 5 people interested and ready to invest a whole week on </div>
<div>that project. Google will cover accommodation and food, and partial/full travel costs.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm personally ready to put my energy on that. I'm also willing to discuss about that as much as </div>
<div>possible, but we only have 9 days left to complete the registration form so most likely most </div><div>discussion will occur after the registration, if we decide to go for it.</div><div><br></div><div>I've put all the questions on our wiki to work on it if enough people are interested to go there.</div>
