[Network-Centric Resources] New to the list! Hello!

[Michael Carbone]

Hi all!

// introducing yourself on the list

Michael here, I help manage the educational efforts on Access Now's
digital security helpline work <https://www.accessnow.org/help>,
particularly digital security advice and resources.

// give any amount of detail on the network-centric resource you are
working on

At IFF I helped facilitate a mega-session on documentation workflows in
order to capture some needs and practices within the community. We
decided to put the notes of that meeting and capture any future "better
practices" in a dedicated repo:

https://github.com/documentation-workflows/meetings/blob/master/2017-IFF-needs-gaps.md

and for discussion, to use this list :)

We have a number of other efforts that we are hoping are/will become
network-centric resources:

## A First Look at Digital Security:
https://github.com/AccessNow/A-First-Look-at-Digital-Security

a starter guide on risk assessment (as the first step in thinking about
digital security).

## Helpline Community Documentation
https://github.com/AccessNow/community-documentation

a repo of public documentation about helpline processes and workflows.
We will continue to push out a lot more of materials over the course of
the year. we are doing this initiative in order to support others who
may be interested in setting up community or regional-focused help
desks, and also so that others can provide feedback on our processes and
workflows.

// what are the big challenges you are facing in doing so

Some challenges/gaps that were identified in the documentation workflows
session:

https://github.com/documentation-workflows/meetings/blob/master/2017-IFF-needs-gaps.md

* Tooling to automate git+markfdown/transifex
* List of static site generators; other tooling infrastructure for
write-git-review workflow
* non-tech contributors in markdown workflow
* How do we as a documentation community share best practices, document
documentation, and continue our work? <- this mailing list and the
github repo
* Localization presentation standardization
* De-duping atomized documents
* Better output / exploration interface

Looking forward to discussing more with you all,
Michael
