Google Season of Docs Project Ideas

Hi everyone!

My name is Elizabeth Laughlin and I’m excited about partnering with the OpenEMR community for Google Season of Docs (SoD) 2023. I’ve been looking for documentation opportunities in the Forum, GitHub, Wiki, and instructional videos and have a few ideas so far:

  1. Add screenshots/examples to existing documentation to increase readability
    Example: Need Active Directory docs · Issue #972 · openemr/openemr · GitHub
      Shoutout to @brady.miller!
  2. Create friction logs for existing documentation to identify areas for improvement, such as better search engine optimization
  3. Write a User Guide and/or other documentation for version 7.0.0
    Example: OpenEMR 7.0.0 Users Guide - OpenEMR Project Wiki
  4. Audit existing documentation and remove old versions from the Wiki
    Example: Find Procedure Order pop-up not working - #2 by htuck
      Shoutout to @htuck!
  5. Create a Tips & Tricks guide with resolutions for common user issues
    Example: Don’t have node services running when making changes or updates to the
      Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture (C-CDA) service
    Source: OpenEMR Lecture Series: C-CDA and OpenEMR - Everything you need to know - YouTube
      Shoutout to @sjpadgett!

If any of these jump out to you, or if you have others you’d like to add, please reply below!
