Tools that help writers finish
Start with existing PocketAuthor materials. Shape a small contribution with a reviewer, then build on what you learn.
Introduce yourself
Suggested project, not an assigned task or an open vacancy. Agree on scope, availability and a reviewer before starting. Scholarships, funding and partnerships described here are proposals, not active commitments.
Start here
Reproduce one writing-tool bug with your own sample text and propose a small fix and regression test.
- Use a disposable draft you own; never edit someone else's manuscript.
- Record route, device, expected result and exact reproduction steps.
- Propose an implementation boundary, test and rollback note before requesting repository access.
What to hand in
A reproducible issue and a scoped fix proposal for import, editor, accessibility or learning tools.
Ready for review when
- The deliverable answers this brief and distinguishes facts from assumptions.
- Sources are linked, drafts are labeled, and private or identifying information is removed.
- You list open questions and ask your assigned reviewer for feedback before publishing or contacting anyone.
Build on your first contribution
Prepare and review
Share your first deliverable with your assigned reviewer. Revise it together before moving on.
Contribute to a project
Implement an approved fix or tool integration in a review branch.
Improve and hand over
Add regression tests and documentation before a maintainer releases it.
These are suggested next tasks, not completion records. After a placement is agreed, your coordinator assigns tasks in the volunteer workspace. Use its task statuses and progress reports to record work and request review.
Open volunteer workspaceKeep the work safe and voluntary
Use public sources or material you own. No outreach, grant submission, production access, spending or publication is authorized by this guide. For work involving children or other vulnerable groups, stop and ask for an approved safeguarding plan. Participation is for adults, and you can pause or decline a task. Credit and rights are agreed separately.
