The GDP Team
NOTE: This page is very out of date. The GDP team is in
desperate need of volunteers to work on the documentation during the 2.16 cycle.
Please see the wiki at
http://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/Join
for more information on how to get involved. Since this page is rarely updated, a list of current members can be found on the wiki at
http://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/Team.
The GNOME Documentation project relies heavily on the hard work of its
members, mostly volunteers working in their free time. GDP members are
listed with their #docs nickname, since this IRC channel is one of the
primary ways the GDP team communicates.
