in reply to Does anyone need a newbie to help testing or documenting or even writing code?

I have been asking for a new maintainer for PDF::Template. I have received some offers, but there's a lot of work to be done on it. I'd love for someone to help out with documentation, particularly in terms of writing a manual separate from the POD on the given nodes. Feel free to contact me if this sounds interesting.
My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    Hi dragonchild,
    I'm definitely interested in helping with the new maintainer for the PDF::template module documentation.:-)
    I just want to tell you that I never did that before.
    Is there any documentation about the way you document things in Perl I should read first?

      To learn how to write POD documentation, just read perldoc perlpod. To learn what to put in it, you may want to see what other CPAN modules do, or check previous discussions here. Since it's not easy to come up with good search terms, one interesting such discussion that I remember of is POD Standards.
