Finding Technical Writers for Open Source Software


I am starting an ambitious Open Source project (based on learning from my existing SAAS company) and looking to find Technical Writers who have experience with OSS and can really dig deep into technical topics and create content around them including posts, wikis, documentation, short videos etc (plus). Where do you find such people usually other than your network ? Is there a "Find a technical writer" website ?

People tend to do it themselves until their community grows and they can draw from a pool of people who love their project. The creator is in the best position to explain, document, and advocate for the project in the early stages.

so... you want to build a commercial service from a FLOSS project but don't want to pay people. seems on brand.

or I guess you want to "pay them with experience and exposure." are you sure you're not in the music industry?
