What a great post, Edidiong. I am a senior tech writer based in Auckland, New Zealand just about to start contributing to my first open source project! Thank you for building my confidence even more!
Thanks for writing this, love it!
Wow! Searching for this kind of article. Much needed.
I do have some questions:
What skills should someone possess to become a technical writer, efficiently contribute to Open Source or even land a job as a tech writer?
Is it possible to contribute to the developer docs of a project when you can't code in the languages the software was written. (Most times dev docs have quite an amount of coding explanations and examples)
Thanks Edidiong Asikpo, I needed to this info. Much appreciate.
