I did a session on IRC for the Ubuntu Documentation Project team regarding the writing process. When it comes to documentation, the writing is the easy part. The most challenging part of documenting anything is determining what and how to document!

Here is an outline of what I discussed:

1. Overview
2. Define the Goal of the Document
3. Define Use Cases
4. Define the Audience
5. Research Common Issues and Questions
6. Propose an Outline
7. Submit to Doc Team
8. When to Begin Writing
9. Writing Tips
