<br>
Noone I know of is currently focused on documentation / public
presentation, and we can use some help there. The repository readme
certainly could have an update, it's still the v1 readme. There is
no "formal" roadmap, as there is noone keeping books of ideas and
todos. We're also rather building a city than a road.<br>
<br>
Some beginner tutorial would be nice. That should come from real
beginner questions & issues using the current version -- note
most issues in the support area were related to earlier versions. It
seems the current version is already quite easy to use, first
questions tend to become more specific now.<br>
<br>

<div>Hi All,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I like where OVMS project is going and would like to help
if I can.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Where I can possibly add value is<br>
</div>
<ul>
<li>make things easy for people to use (eg documentation, etc)<br>
</li>
<li>experienced on UI/UX design, etc.<br>
</li>
<li>as an ex developer, good at testing and finding problems.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<div>Some initial thoughts on activities are<br>
</div>
<ul>
<li>to make it easier for non technical people to use OVMS,
help doc author pull out user only specific content to a
user manual and make it non-technical (renaming current user
manual to developers manual) <br>
</li>
<li>to help people see roadmap, provide a mechanism to see who
wants what and who is working on it.</li>
<li>to allow developers and users to display problems with
their vehicle only, add Labels to the github issues list or
group by project (I am not an expert on GITHUB so please be
patient)<br>
</li>
<li>update GITHUB readmes to better direct people that find
GITHUB first.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<div>Please<br>
</div>
<ul>
<li>let me know if anyone is dealing with any of these areas<br>
</li>
<li>add and/or vote for what things you think I can help with
by putting a comment next to the activity above.</li>
</ul>
