introduction and PopularPages (formerly NewDocs) team transition

[Leigh Tate]

Greetings. My name is Leigh Tate (aka Buntu Bunny on the Ubuntu Forums). I am a member of the former NewDocs, now PopularPages team. We have recently merged with the Ubuntu Docs Contributors, so I thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself and share what my part has been on that team.

I had the privilege of being part of the formation period of NewDocs (PopularPages), along with Geoff Smith and David Pires. Once it was established, there was an obvious need to keep it up to date. We established guidelines and created ToBeReviewed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PopularPages/ToBeReviewed  as a sandbox for pages that needed tending too:

- outdated pages that hadn't been updated in more than 18 months
- tagged pages
- pages for versions of Ubuntu no longer supported

My part on the team has been to slowly review PopularPages for these, one page at a time. I used the NewDocs email list to run the proposed changes by the other team members for feedback. Once the team was in agreement, the changes were made by me, either moving them to the sandbox or deleting as the team decided. 

Now that we are working more closely with the Ubuntu Docs Contributors team, I thought it might be a good time to evaluate what we've been doing and ask if any changes should be made. As time allows, I'm more than happy to continue doing as I have been. Would this email list be a good place to get feedback on proposed changes? Or something else? Do we want to continue evaluating PopularPages pages in the same way or change the procedure? I'm a willing participant; I just want to be in sync with the team goals.

Leigh
