Google Season of Docs 2021

Google Season of Docs provides support for open source projects to improve their documentation and gives professional technical writers an opportunity to gain experience in open source. Together we raise awareness of open source, of docs, and of technical writing. The goal of the program is to empower open source organizations to understand their documentation needs, to create documentation to fill those needs, to measure the effect and impact of their documentation, and, in the spirit of open source, share what they've learned to help guide other projects. Season of Docs seeks to bring more technical writers into open source through funding their work with open source projects and organizations.

Technical writers are welcome to participate in the Google Season of Docs 2021 program with the JBoss Community!

Note that the list of accepted organizations in the Google Season of Docs 2021 program will be announced on April 16, 2021 at 18:00 UTC by Google.

Idea Proposals

Project title: Review and Revamp the Glossary Page on WildFly Docs

Summary of idea:
Many new beginners while starting their journey with JBOSS, want to become more familiar with the common terms used in the WildFly world.
The glossary page should have a list of such terms/words which will help a new contributor have more familiarity with the technical terms.
The glossary will also point to few quick start guides which will complete the loop and have the contributors use WildFly right away.

-Idea
1. Build a strong and meaningful glossary page
2. Integrate some with the quickstart guides repo

Knowledge prerequisite: JAVA, GIT, Shell, Maven, asciidoc
