If you'd like to apply to be MicroPython's Technical Writer for this year's Google Season of Docs, start by reading our proposal on how we'd like to Update MicroPython Port Documentation. If that's of interest to you then read through the Technical writer guide to become aware of the project requirements and submit a Statement of Interest, emailing it to me directly (email is in the proposal).

This is the first time I am coming across micropython but I am familiar with python. Do you think I will be able to accomplish what is required in the project?mattyt wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 1:10 pmHi there,

Re: GSoD
It really depends on whether you are motivated to learn (and, as a mentor, I'll help!).
The language of MicroPython is quite similar to Python - and anyone with Python experience can pick up the language quickly. However, the task is to update port documentation. This is unique to MicroPython and requires some understanding of the embedded domain and the underlying microcontrollers that MicroPython runs on so that it can be documented with clarity.
It's not especially complex but if you have little experience in the embedded space there will be a learning curve.
