Season of Docs Project Ideas List
Organization: GNU Radio
Organization Description: GNU Radio is a free & open-source software development toolkit that provides signal processing blocks to implement software radios. It can be used with readily-available low-cost external RF hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulation-like environment. It is widely used in hobbyist, academic and commercial environments to support both wireless communications research and real-world radio systems.
Primary code repo: https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio

Technical writing project ideas
(It may be possible to combine multiple of these items into 1 project)
- The technical writer can work with Marc as he creates the "One page per block" section of the User docs, inspired by MATLAB's documentation
- Our tutorials could definitely use a technical writer to improve, and they could even do the GRC (less technical) tutorials as part of that effort, to learn more about GNU Radio throughout the Fall
- The Usage Manual is an area of documentation that gets a lot of exposure, because it explains a lot of GNU Radio's basic concepts like messages, tagging, PMTs, etc. Our Usage Manual could definitely use refinement
