How We Can Help

So you’ve got an idea for an article but not confident with writing in English on an international stage?

No problem. We have a diverse international community, and we want to make sure the barriers for participating in publishing content are as low as possible. So if you need help to translate and copy-edit your article, we still want to hear from. 

  • Writing - If you have an idea, we can help find someone to write it for you.

  • Translation - Bring us an article in any language and we’ll translate it. We also have translators to produce press releases in multiple languages.

  • Improving / Copyediting - Need some help to improve the readability of your article in English? 

  • Proofreading - A light pass on the English language grammar, spelling, and some error-checking.

How an Idea Becomes an Article on typo3.org

Submit: To start, you’ll have to log in to typo3.org to complete the content request form. Tell us about the content you want to submit, and what kind of support you need. Ideally, we’d like to use Google Docs for editing. If you can make it possible to view and comment on the Google Doc, then we can review it and delegate it. Then we’ll request edit access for those individuals or move the document into the shared directory for the TYPO3 Content Team. 

Delegate: This will log a ticket into the TYPO3 Association Content Jira Board. You don’t need access to the Jira board if you’re just submitting something, but if you’d like to get involved in the Content Team you’re welcome to join!

A member of the Content Team will find your ticket in there (we usually check on a Monday). We then delegate the task. This can take a week to complete, depending on the request and availability. We are aiming to shorten the time it takes to get something published. 

Escalate: If you have an urgent request, please come into the #t3a-content-group in Slack to tell us you have an urgent matter to publish ASAP. 

Promote: Your article will be shared on social media. And, if you like, the TYPO3 Association Newsletter.

We try to get all the content prepared two weeks before publishing. That means, it should already be live and available two weeks before the last Tuesday of that month.
