How do we get onto the Documention team? [#981028]

Just had the urge to shorten the title on the following page to make it more concise, and realized that not any old fool could do it:
http://drupal.org/update/theme

So to whom do I need to prove my worth in order to make this change? What should I do? Does it involve a test of wits? A series of lightening rounds, each more difficult than the last? A display of magic in front of a small gathering of witnesses? Either way, sign me up. (However, if the qualifier is a magic trick, I must insist that you all stand about 10 feet away, and place a hand over one eye.)

Hi Patrick - Anyone can be on the "Docs Team" http://drupal.org/contribute/documentation/join - but being assigned the "Documentation Admin" role is really something that's only done for active documentation maintainers. There are a small number of pages that are "locked" either because of the content, or because of the input format needed for embedding images and using tables.

So, unless you really work with docs a lot or maintain a module and its docs, the way to get changes on pages like this is simply to file an issue!

What's the suggested title you'd want to replace it with? I'm happy to update it if it seems reasonable.

Thanks Arianek :)

It hardly seems worth the trouble, but I was going to say "Converting theme versions" or "Updating theme versions". All the other titles at the top level seemed relatively concise, and I thought it looked messy in the contents block on the right. But perhaps that's OCD on my part :)

Anyhow, whatever you think is best!

Huh, I had to agree it was a little circular or confusing or something. I changed it to "Updating a theme to a new version" (since I still wanted to somehow imply that the update was in relation to Drupal's version, not just the theme's). Does that seem better?

Oh man, I feel totally nitpicky in retrospect. Your change is definitely an improvement in that I was just trying to think of a way to bring the character count of the title down :)

Thanks for humouring me!

Haha, I don't mind a little nitpicking, I think it's a sign of a good potential Docs Team member, if nothing else!

Boldly changed this without discussion to from a mix of 'Updating' and 'Converting' themes to a linguistically consistent

'Upgrading'

I argue that themes are 'upgraded' if core is also 'upgraded' http://drupal.org/documentation/upgrade/6/7

I think it'd be great to introduce a taxonomy term with synonyms (update and convert) before D6 stops being supported to tag issues/documentation etc. to help minimize search effort.

The url-aliases could use a rewrite from 'update' to 'upgrade'
http://drupal.org/update/theme
http://drupal.org/update/themes/6/7
http://drupal.org/update/themes/5/6

Did you see? --> #941896: "Upgrade" vs. "Update" language

Update: I see that the other commenters already changed the subject to a 'update' vs 'upgrade' discussion. Still, let's move this discussion elsewhere
