@robn I commissioned a tech writer to give us an assessment of where things could be improved. Unfortunately he got covid shortly after, so wasn't available to do the proposed work. https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10257

RE: Including community managers and technical writers is a MASSIVE step in the right direction.
@robn I can recall one good contribution in recent memory, a Getting Started doc for our LMDB library. The contributor was using our code, thought there was a lack of guidance for new users, and wrote it up.
This is generally the pattern we expect in open source - that people will show up because they're already interested in the project and have a personal use for it, a reason to be involved.

@robn yes but.... we get code contributions quite frequently. We almost never get doc contributions from tech writers. We (Symas) would fund them (for the OpenLDAP Project) if they contributed. From what I can see, tech writers who want to contribute to open source don't exist.

RE: What is the smallest device with a physical QWERTY, keyboard, a screen, and Wi-Fi, which is usable with the current mainline Linux kernel?
@neil for a long time, I think the answer to that question was a Motorola Droid4.
I still have a pair of them but I stopped using them when I went all-in on arm64, they're only 32bit.
