Documentation and introduction


I wanted to say hello to everyone, as I'm a new member of the team and a new observer for thanks to Citizen Sky and the AAVSO for a year now. When Aaron put up his blog post talking about the VStar team and how David had said there was a need for documentation writers. I thought to myself, "heck, I think I can do that" and requested to join the team. Then I thought once again to myself, "what did I get myself into"?! I'm interested in learning about data analysis myself and the 5-star tutorial is a great start in learning how to use VStar but there are still things unanswered because it is a deep subject. Having talked with David about this, he suggested I post here in the team area to see if anyone else would be interested in helping out with documentation. Right now there would be two aspects to the documentation. One will be a standard Help file, that would be on the features of VStar and how to use it correctly. That would be geared more towards the experienced observer/analyst, like the members of the AAVSO. The second would be further tutorials and maybe a simple primer on analysis geared towards the members of Citizen Sky. The how's and why's began in the 5-star tutorial, expanded to catch the attention and hopefully further participation of other new Citizen Scientists. Would anyone out there be interested in joining me in creating the documentation? A background in data analysis isn't required (heck, I'll be learning as I go along too) if you've got a background in data analysis and want to help, that's even better!I've already started jotting down some ideas but any thoughts, suggestions or ideas from the team are appreciated!
