App developer tutorials growth
We'd like the tutorials section of the app developer site to grow with interesting content for Ubuntu app developers. In this session we'll discuss and come up with a plan to do that.
Ideas:
- Brainstorming of topics where we need tutorials
- Structure the list of topics in a shortlist of essential ones
- Reach out to the community to assign at least one person to a tutorial
- Set up editorial permissions and process in place on the app developer site
