<div>I hope this will nteered her time and skills to help out IPython. Yesterday met at Berkeley with the local part of the team as well as Katy Huff from Scipy.</div><div><br></div><div>Imelda volunteered to help the project with writing from a different perspective than what we typically write: not technical docs but business/project analysis. That's a skill set different from our typical one, so I'm happy to see where this experiment can take us.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We decided a good starting point could be for her to take the view of a business analyst and look at what the project looks like *from the outside*, without much detailed guidance from us at all. I'm sure that will be a sobering diagnostic of some of our limitations in terms of docs, project presentation, website, etc.</div>

For the draft, I performed a document analysis to help write the draft, pulling written sections that existed on other documents. Please review the draft, and provide feedback by Thurs (8/14). I welcome it, and any other corrections and clarifications that can be provided.</div>
