Hi @rcheesley

My Motivation:
I think documentation is horrible right now…
Especially for beginners and as it seems for established users too the concept of mautic functionality is a “black box mystery”.
Documentation must give an overview and explain the concepts and principles in a way a new user can get up and running fast.

I also see many possibilities to improve mautic functionality from the users perspective and from the marketers view.

My insights:
New users
Business owners considering Mautic

My skills
Trainer
Marketer
Video producer
Content creator
Documentation writer (German)
Translation (German)

The only problem could be time :wink:

I will atttend tomorrow to see what can be done.

Sorry folks I realised this clashes with the community call, so will need to push it back by an hour to 10am instead of 9. I’ll update the post accordingly!
