Season of Docs?

Season of Docs?

[Junio C Hamano]

This is a companion program to GSoC we might want to participate.

Many places in our docs clearly show that they were written by
developers, which we may want to rectify.

This is a great idea, and I think it would be good for us to be
involved. I know that Stolee wanted some help writing documentation
about partial clones [1]. Maybe that would be a good project for this?

Thanks,

I have a willing volunteer right now. Hopefully we will all see progress
in this direction soon. If that doesn't pan out, then we can bring this
up as a potential area.
