Technical Documentation

 * Firstline documentation for Cloud Services. Assist in compiling and writing a set of first-line documentation (walkthroughs, tutorials, and best practices) for experienced developers who are new to Toolforge and Cloud VPS.

Evaluate, research and make recommendations

 * Work with technical writer on staff to evaluate technical documentation content collections on Wikimedia projects for maturity, identify which could use improvement, perform research and make specific recommendations.

Audience research and user experience
TBA

Create resources for staff and volunteers

 * Improve technical documentation review processes. Technical documentation on Wikimedia projects is often not reviewed for quality or accuracy. There is a nascent technical document review process that needs further development and support. In this project, you would help to clarify and refine the process, create supporting material and work with the technical community to help implement this system.
