I'm throwing my hat into the ring since I've already done so much in this arena.
You have my vote About the perimeter of this role: couldn't we consider that it's part of "documentation" to work on the terms and vocabularies used in Koha's interfaces themselves? Would you consider tackling that type of problems too (inconsistencies in the use of certain terms, etc.)? Or do you think it's too far from what "documentation" should be? Nicolas
Having written the Koha 3.0 Manual (which is still a work in progress), I have an intimate knowledge of our documentation needs and would love to help manage all further documentation efforts.

Hi,
While we're discussing project roles, I would like to suggest reviving the position of Documentation Manager, a position which appears to be unfilled at the moment. If I am mistaken and somebody is currently active as DM, I apologize.
The documentation manager would be responsible for:
* Working with the Koha user community to identify documentation needs. * Organizing the creation and updates of user documentation for Koha 3.x, including manuals, user help embedded in Koha, wikis, etc. * In conjunction with the 3.2 RM and the 3.0 RMaint, updating user documentation that resides in the Koha source tree. * Encouraging the user and developer communities to improve documentation practices. * Discovering and linking to public Koha documentation written outside the aegis of the Koha project. * Encouraging (with the help of the translation manager) the development of user documentation in as many languages as possible. * Maintaining user documentation on the various project websites, including wiki.koha.org, kohadocs.org, and the forthcoming Plone version of www.koha.org.
Any volunteers? Comments on the list of responsibilities?
