Content Group

The group offers editorial review and writing help for authors, and all articles will be proofread and scheduled for publication at times and in channels that will give it best effect. It is organized under the Marketing Team, and the activities are mostly related to articles published on the TYPO3 news hub, news.typo3.org. The work of the group is mostly asynchronous.

Submit Content or Idea

Submitted content ideas get help with writing, proofreading, or publishing content in the news hub. Submissions automatically appear in the public content pipeline.

Write, Translate, Proofread

The TYPO3 Content Group is searching for motivated TYPO3 community members, who are interested in giving something back to our favorite content management system. 

This is the group where no coding skills are required. You can support us either on a regular basis, as a team member, or to help out occasionally as a contributor.

Writer's Guide and Workflow Overview

A Central Content Recipient

Want to publish an article? Announce or report back on an event? Propose something new? Whatever it may be, contacting the group or submitting a content request is the first step.

Clear Ownership and Maximizing Value

We clarify clarify important details for contributed content on TYPO3's platforms:

• Who owns the message? Is it the TYPO3 Company or Association, a team or an individual?
• What help and resources do you need? Editorial guidance, assistance, or maybe just proofreading? Who should be involved?
• What priority should it have?
• What media channels are best suited for its distribution?
• How can we get the most out of it? Can we make any spin-offs like marketing materials, videos, talks at events, or follow-up articles?

Production, Quality Assurance, and Scheduling

We set up up a publication timeline and help coordinate the production-to-publishing workflow, including, assigning resources and keeping relevant stakeholder groups (such as Marketing, Content, and Social Media) in the loop, helping overcome any blocks or hurdles that may be encountered. These groups can then make their own plans and assign their own resources.

Content and Marketing Guide

The group follows the policies of the Content and Marketing Guide.
