Hi Everyone,
It’s 1st Aug (already in some parts of the world and the remaining will
follow soon), so I thought I’d send out a brief update and request to
people.
[1] As you (may) know, Summer Reboot is targeted as being the starting
point documentation for Radiant in the future and so far, we’ve come up
with a list of documents that we’d like to create and some authors have
claimed some of the articles as things that they would like to write. A
few articles are already up!
If you feel there should be more topics, please edit the home page
of the documentation to add it in
If you feel you can write some of it, please claim, write and
upload
Current authors/ claimants: THANKS for your support.
[2] I understand that some (many? most?) of us are busy and are doing
this as a side-project/ free time effort, so I’m thankful to all of you
for that. That said, if you think you have some scribbled notes
electronically but don’t have the time to upload it, I’m willing to try
to do that. I don’t mind spending some time to push out more things.
I’ll rewrite what I get, try to replicate it on my side, capture some
screenshots and push it out as and when I have the time.
Contact me: tech {at} onghu.com or mohits {at} onghu.com with
what you have/ email
If you can do this TODAY (i.e. Friday), I shall try my best to push
out what you pass me during the weekend. Once the work week starts
again, it gets difficult
[3] Everyone reads 
Help us edit the wiki. Go to the site and see
the articles that are there. Take a read.
If there are grammatical errors/ missing words, please FIX it
If the explanation is not clear and you can rewrite a part of it,
please FIX it
If more information is needed and you can write it, please FIX it
If more information is needed and you can’t write it, please ADD
comments into the article, preferably in a color like orange to
distinguish it from the main text. Hopefully, someone can address it
later.
[4] Ideas from the List: This list has some good ideas and bug fixes or
workarounds. If you have the time and spot something that really helps
you, go to the wiki and add in at least a small note to the related
article. For example, the article on Copy_Move at
http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Copy_and_Move has this line at the bottom:
Known Problems
There seems to be a problem with using CopyMove with Radiant 0.6.7 in
the Development mode.
This problem does not occur when in Production mode.
A sample screenshot of the problem is at:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/attachment/2380/Picture_2.jpg
If you can, please add such stuff so that people know where to look and
when not to panic on ‘known problems’
[5] There was an offer by Zaheed Haque to help fund some of this
activity if it would help speed things up. If anyone has any ideas on
whether it would help, then please let us know. Else, we could use his
generosity (depending on the quantum) to do something like send a Rails
book to the article writers, etc. as a thank you
Zaheed: you mentioned that you like the way the documents are
shaping up. Is there something specific that you need? We could see
how to prioritize that if needed. Also, for September, what kind of
documents do you actually need? A little more detail may help.
That’s all for now - remember we’re targeting 31st Aug as the date of
launch!! no pressure 
Thanks again, everyone! The Summer Reboot site is at:

Cheers,
Mohit.
