{Meta / Process} - Documentation for Scuttlebutt
This repository will contain work in progress documents & notes for my research on {Meta / Process} Documentation for SSB Projects.
Overview
In May 2018 I received a grant from the Scuttlebutt community as part of their ongoing #SSBC-Grants Program to support this research, and synthesise my findings into a series of suggestions / guidelines for the community on how to better improve the visibility of all the wonderful work being done within the Scuttleverse.
The initial proposal can be found here on github, or alongside comments & feedback from the community as the initial Scuttlebutt thread.
Dev-Diary
Weekly updates will be published as a dev-diary both in this repository, as well as on the corresponding Scuttlebutt thread
