Hi Sylvia, As Ahmet mentioned, you may start by exploring the 2 project ideas that we shared [1], and see which one you like better. On the same page, you will find links to the old/related documentation that we are looking forward to update/improve with tech writers' help. We also specified the set of deliverables that we expect from technical writers for each project. If you are very new to Apache Beam, this programming guide can be also helpful to understand the key concepts[2].
When the application period for technical writers opens on June 9, you can submit your proposal with a detailed outline of how you would document either of the two project ideas. Mentors will assess proposals based on these guidelines [3]. I also created a slack channel for quick questions if you further questions [4]. If you have trouble joining the slack channel, you can request an invite here[5].
