Call to Action: Please read if you want to influence PowerShell documentation

Hello everyone,

I'm a co-director of the PowerShellCommunity.org web site. I've been recently approached by June Blender from the Microsoft PowerShell documentation team to setup a process where people from the PowerShell community would participate in the review of PowerShell documentation while it is in a draft state.

I'm still working out the kinks in the process, but currently, I'm looking for at least 4 people from the community to volunteer to help review some outstanding documentation. Specifically, I'm looking for 2 beginner-level users and 2 intermediate/advanced users.

The review could be of new documentation or updates to existing documentation.

If you're interested in participating in the review and being able to provide your comments and influence how PowerShell help features are written, send a message to doc_reviews@powershellcommunity.org. Please indicate your current level of familiarity with PowerShell. Once assigned something to review, you will be expected to review what is assigned to you within 7 days.

You will need to be a member of the http://www.powershellcommunity.org
(http://www.poshcomm.org) web site to participate because the site will be used in the review process.

Once you are accepted as a reviewer, more details will be sent to you via email.

If you do not receive any kind of acceptance message/email, your name maybe archived for future use. Unfortunately, I don't know whether I will be able to respond to every email from all volunteers.
