BREAKING NEWS:
The Documentation group has split into a few different teams, tackling a variety of important topics. Yes, that’s right, an open source software sprint is focusing on documentation for users! For example, Beth Saunders has been leading the effort on ensuring that all Nonprofit Starter Pack workflows are well-documented so that users know what they’re supposed to be covering. You know when you see an endless formula string of “AND”s and “OR”s? Well, she’s helping explain what they’re doing.
Update: 11:21am PT
When discussing the planned professional grade videos explaining features of the Nonprofit Starter Pack, an anonymous source in the Salesforce.org administration was quoted as saying:
“These are going to be the greatest screen recordings ever. We’re talking the best ever. Just unbelievable.”
