Hey Sharon!
Thank you so much for your interest to contribute to Beam's documentation.
It is a big help that you have knowledge and experience with Spark and
Dataflow already.
In order to be considered for the program, you'll need to submit a proposal
with a summary of the documentation work that you would like to complete
while working with us on Apache Beam. I am adding +Pablo Estrada
, assigned mentor for this project idea, if you have
specific questions regarding the capability matrix. You can also work with
me or Pablo if you want any feedback for your initial draft. For that
consider using Google Docs and share with us.
Also check out guides for technical writers provided by GSoD team [1]. It
has many tips on how to make your proposal to stand out.
Hope it helps, and let me know if you have any questions.
