Followup from last week, hopefully with more people to weigh in :)

Technical Communication WG

The primary goal is to make FAIR and its ecosystem understandable and usable for people of all technical skill levels. This involves creating clear, concise, and engaging documentation. Many people who use FAIR are not developers; they are bloggers, small business owners, and content creators who need to be able to use the software without needing to understand the underlying code.

This is heavily tied in to the work the documentation folks do, but would encompass blog posts, white papers, support guides, field notes, etc.

Server deployment

[chuckadams]

late addition: we need to have a detailed inventory of all our IT assets, like cloud accounts, hosting providers, cloud resources, etc. Especially include stuff other people are paying for already. It's hard to plan capacity and costs without knowing what all we have. To say nothing of having monitoring/ops/devops actually covering it.

Google sheet might be good for this, but possibly a Miro Board. I can open a GH issue for the details, but might need someone to create the miro board?
