== Project 1: Joomla 3.10 to Joomla 4.x Step by Step Migration ==
== Project 1: Joomla! User Guide ==
=== Description===
=== Description===
The migration from Joomla 3.10 to 4.x is considered a mini-migration. This is because most Joomla core extensions will upgrade with a “one-click” upgrade via the Joomla Update component in the backend administrator side of Joomla. <br />
Content follows soon
Step by step instructions to migrate a 3.10 site to Joomla 4.x is needed to help users and encourage them to use the latest version. While there are hundreds of different scenarios, this will need to give the basic procedure to follow.
The Joomla Help Screens (over 200 help screens) are available on JDocs but most of all accessible from the backend of any Joomla sites, using the help button, to help users understanding each single feature/option and how to use them.<br />
Content follows soon
The Help Screens for Joomla 4 needs to be started from scratch, due to the important change between the 3.x and the 4.x series.

== Project 3: Update of the J3.x Documentation ==
With the forthcoming Joomla 4 release, a lot of Joomla 3.x documentation needs to be updated to fit J3.9 and most important to fit the changes introduced into Joomla 4 (like for example, the 4 main portals: beginners, administrators, developers, core contributors). <br />
The task will mostly consist into duplicating the J3.x tutorials, using the right namespace and update the content to fit the new version, so that we can keep the J3.x documentation alongside with J4.x documentation.
If you are interested in participating as a technical writer please review the materials on applying that are available at Google.
We strongly encourage you to ask questions about process and projects on our joomla-gsoc mailing list and join our
public Glip / Ringcentral chat tool.
You can contact the Joomla GSoD team at gsod@community.joomla.org
Note: The GSoD 2023 projects are displayed in no particular order
GSoD 2023 will focus on providing technical documentation about Joomla 4, our major project release which should be available by the end of 2023. Providing a good documentation about new features is crucial for a project like Joomla, so that users and developers can upgrade or try the new major version in a smooth way.
