Hi Karen, Richard and Evviva,
I’ve been working with the Documentation Working Group since November, and at the Samvera Partner’s Meeting, it was suggested that the Documentation Working Group use some funds to pay for services to improve documentation.
The group has come up with a figure and propose it to the Steering Committee. Not to bury the lede further, the amount is $10,000. This would pay for the hiring of a Tom Johnson (not our Tom Johnson), who is a Jekyll developer and who could help us reformat our documentation site for better usability.
I am wondering if you can provide a pathway for me to bring this to the Steering Committee.

I'd suggest you get a detailed proposal to Steering ahead of our f2f meeting on 20/21 January. Preferably sooner rather than later so that we have time to digest it before any discussion.

If there is a secretary for the group it’s likely me – but it will be perfectly acceptable that you just mail samvera-steering@googlegroups.com.
Likely this is stating the obvious, but it would probably be useful if, in addition to the detailed proposal, you could forward a couple of recommendations for Tom Johnson from people that folks on Steering will respect opinion-wise (in addition to yourself, of course!).

Notes
A proposal that's more detailed - what we intend to do.
(about Jen's Documentation process for getting expert to talk) Has anyone talked to him about participation - Tom Johnson.
Jen had not great luck, people who are overtaxed.
Returning to email - Jekyll Tom Johnson - has anyone been in touch with Jekyll Tom Johnson? Tom Johnson 2? Drew will recalibrate and get set to talk to Tom.
