[wp-docs] WordPress Help Manual on WP Academy

[Andrea Rennick]

As noted above, there's two ways you can contribute:

- jump in to the codex and start writing / editing / correcting information

- help with the user manual, which right now is a bunch of HTML pages.

This may or may not change. there are PLENTY of pages right now we need
people to edit so we can push an official user guide to actual users.
That's way more important to use that what software is used to produce it
(at this time).

If you really want to jump in, get working, and earn a name for yourself,
the user manual is the best place to start. We would honestly love to have
you contribute. See this page
http://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/ for
the current work list and you can also let me know personally which ones
you'd like to start with. We have a weekly chat in IRC on Thursdays at 5pm
Eastern for discussing specifics.
