To enable search we have to use DocSearch. Unfortunately our project does not qualify for the free hosting and so we have to host it ourselves

How to run our own DocSearch docs:

I think considering our group works primarily with these two groups, it's important for people working with CYF to understand what this actually means and to be signposted to resources that can improve their skills and deepen their knowledge. Thoughts? This is on the back of trying to push more of this understanding in Manchester and attending some outside events in my own time to better interact with our students.

Maybe this could fall under the 'new volunteers' section.

Syllabus, length of course, required background, how many people, classes etc

We have a (stub) page about using Classroom as a volunteer, but it would be useful to have a guide for students too.

• What do we do?
• What roles do we have in the team?
• What are the time commitments?

The first image on the page linked below isn't showing in the live view, though looking at the code itself, it looks like it ought to.

This could also be added to another page were appropriate

Extending students' Slack documentation with tips & hints on how to use it effectively. It can be then shared with them as a link or even bit by bit on the go to not overwhelm them.
A couple of already shared hints could be extracted from the recent manchester-class3 channel and reused as part of the documentation.

Current documentation
Slack from volunteers point of view

Maybe this documentation could be also melted either into the wiki or syllabus?

From a volunteers

Several sections on the page have no info in at least one of the three questions - What is this? Who runs this? Why do we do this? I am sure it's a known issue but just thought I'd flag it. 

https://dashboard.codeyourfuture.io/

Outline what it can do and how to get access to it

Doc here: https://codeyourfuture.github.io/wiki/mentors/cyf-dashboard

The Wiki should ideally have a dark mode like the syllabus. Are there plans to include this? :)

To make this as easy as possible for non-tech people to edit I'd like the docs to be published on every commit.

This is the way you commit from a local machine

cd website
npm install
GIT_USER=ChrisOwen101 CURRENT_BRANCH=master USE_SSH=true npm run publish-gh-pages

I don't quite know enough about Github Actions to be able to do this

• Remember to be positive
• Be kind etc

Cherry-picked some questions from students for proposing to the F.A.Q site.
Before adding wanted to sanitize & discuss. It may contain redundant questions which are the answer in FAQ or at least partially.

Careers & Job Market

• Are we likely to get support from CYF partner companies in terms of recruitment?

• How many people normally get jobs by the end fo the course?

• How much is your wages? What’s the pay scale that you started with as an associate?

• What challenges you met in your first job?

• What are the different types of coding roles in general?

  • Frontend Developer
  • Frontend Engineer
  • Backend Developer
  • Backend Engineer
  • UX Researcher
  • UI Designer
  • Solution Engineer Manager
  • Product Owner
  • Copy Writer
  • Scrum Master
  • DevOps
  • Architect

  Then the ranks for developer,

  • Graduate Developer
  • Junior Developer
  • Developer
  • Senior Developer
  • Principle Developer
  • Engineering Manager
  • Engineering Director
  • CTO

Personal Development

• How did you work on yourself to get the job you want?
• What challenges have you met during your job?

Routine & Work

• How many frameworks like bootstrap you have to use on a daily basis?
• How stressful can it be as a Front End developer?

This could be included in both the student and mentor sections.

It should cover every step to becoming a student at CYF including

• Applying on our website
• Completing FreeCodeCamp
• Showing your knowledge by building a website
• Letter of motiviation
• Interview

This should take the form of a several pages with a step by step guide to becoming a volunteer at CYF

1. Apply on our website
2. Attend an Onboarding Event (physical or virtual)
3. Attend a class
4. Get added to Slack, Emailing Lists, Github etc
   ....

What is acceptable?
What to contribute?

Write a page about the history of cyf, statistics about what we've done so far, our growth etc

https://codeyourfuture.github.io/wiki/mentors/history

The vast majority of the learning hours of our students is spent online/remotely, however we are giving very little attentio to this period.

Stutdents should be expected to work remotely together/ask questions and spend several hours working as a team. Reducing isolation would speed up their learning journey.

Expand this page so that volunteers can use Classroom effectively.
