“Over the years, a lot of people have become interested in the
idea of contributing to the Apache HTTP Server project, but have
hung back or remained silent because they felt only hardcore C
programmers with tons of experience need apply. Some actually have
contacted the Project, saying they’d like to help out but don’t
have the coding skills and so didn’t know what they could do. And
some have offered specifically to help out on the documentation,
either translating it, or correcting technical nits, or improving
its readability or navigability.”
“Until recently, there has been no real organised way for
non-programmers to contribute; it’s been a rather haphazard matter
of sending comments or suggestions to the best-guess contact they
could find.”
“In July of 2000, however, the Apache HTTP server project
created a subproject and reorganised the documentation files so
that they can be worked on directly by non-programmers. This
article describes more about this, and how you can get
involved.”
