Learning by Example: Highlights from Google Season of Docs – Erin McKean, Google

The Google Season of Docs program gives direct grants to open source projects to hire technical writers. The technical writing projects supported by these grants are intended to solve real problems for open source project communities, and the case studies created by the projects are intended to help other open source projects learn how to conceptualize and create their own problem-solving open source documentation. In this talk, we’ll walk through how projects participating in Google’s Season of Docs program have framed their problems, hypothesized solutions, created documentation to solve those problems, and measured the success of their documentation.
