If you want to work on computer-aided design (CAD), geometry, or graphics documentation, you've come to the right place! Help us improve open source CAD.

Well prepared proposals from capable technical writers have a good chance of getting selected. We consider proposals for all skill levels ranging from simple to crazy hard and everything in between. Introduce yourself via chat, and we'll help you plan a project right for you.

Remember that project descriptions are just initial ideas. You must expand with considerably more detail. Change the goals to fit your experience and interests.
