Season of Docs - Ex-participant Intro

[kartik khare]

Hi,
This is Kartik. I an genuinely interested in working with your organisation
for Google season of Docs. I work as data engineer @ walmart labs but also
write a lot of blogs on distributed systems on
https://medium.com/@kharekartik.

I contributed one on flink's website as well:
https://flink.apache.org/news/2020/02/07/a-guide-for-unit-testing-in-apache-flink.html

I participated as technical writer last year as well for Apache Airflow.
You can check my project and journey here:

Let's keep in touch.


Regards,
Kartik Khare

Hi again, Kartik!

Our project idea is pretty open-ended — there really is a lot of work to do
in the Table API / SQL documentation, so we're not being picky about what
people choose to work on. Regarding timelines on our side, I think FLIP-60
and other documentation improvement proposals will be tackled more ad-hoc
style and not so much like a continuous project, as there isn't *one*
person dedicated to just focusing on that.

If you're looking for a bit more concrete points, Seth did a good summary
in a previous thread:

*"Restructure the Table API & SQL Documentation*



*Right now the Table / SQL documentation is very technical and dry to read.
It is more like a technical specification than documentation that a new
user could read. This project is to take the existing content and
rewrite/reorganize it to make what the community already has more
approachable.*
*Extend the Table API & SQL Documentation*

*This is to add brand new content. This could be tutorials and walkthroughs
to help onboard new users or expanding an under-documented section such as
Hive interop."*

Feel free to ask for a review of your project proposal once you've put it
together, if you feel like you need it! And sorry again for the broken
e-mail chain.

Marta

Hi Seth and Marta,
No issues at all.
I was looking forward to getting started with the proposal document for
GSoD.
I wanted to know what are the expectations from the document. I am assuming
you must be looking for the timelines for various stages of the project.
Other than that, the proposals already have a detailed structure of what
the documentation should look like but we can have a discussion to check if
there is scope for moving some of the sections.

Regards,
Kartk
