Create a plan for tackling the Community Handbook
Here is a way we might want to split up our work on the Community Handbook Toolkit:
- Components of a handbook
- Writing Style and Guidelines
- Topics covered
- Suggested Tool Stack
- How updates are handled
- Outreach
Here is a presentation about community handbooks to help guide us.
Update: We have begun to work on a community handbook for IEEE SA Open. The first iteration can be found here: https://opensource.ieee.org/community-handbook.
