Has anyone jumped on this yet? Just don't want to flood them, but also want to direct the right people in their direction if you feel this is appropriate for us to respond. I'll email them directly for more information if people want to know more before deciding.<br>

Dear WordPress contributors,<br>
<br>
We are interviewing open source developers who have worked on the documentation of their project to get a better understanding of the effort it takes to create and maintain documentation. This work is part of my Ph.D. in Computer Science at McGill University.<br>
<br>
*We would like one of the WordPress contributors to be part of this study*. We are especially interested in people who contributed to the documentation of WordPress plugin development.<br>
<br>
The involvement of the participant would consist of a single 45-minute phone interview in which we would ask open-ended questions about the documentation process in WordPress and the problems encountered when creating and maintaining documentation.<br>
<br>
In recognition for your valuable participation, we will send you the report summarizing our results before it gets published.<br>
<br>
If someone is interested in participating to this survey, please contact me at <a href="mailto:bart@cs.mcgill.ca" target="_blank">bart@cs.mcgill.ca</a> with suggestions of dates and times (with your timezone) that would best suit you.<br>
<br>
Your insights would be invaluable in helping advance our knowledge of documentation processes, and we hope one of you will be able to participate.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Barthélémy Dagenais<br>
