Documentation Contributor Handbook

Thank you very much for your interest in Documentation team and welcome to Documentation team Handbook. This is the place where you can find out what Documentation team is in charge for, which skills are needed from a contributor and which documentation project suits best your skillset, as well as how to join us.

How to start? #How to start?

We know that this amount of information can be overwhelming for new contributors but don’t worry, we are here to help. We recommend that you first take a look at our “orientation” page. This is the place where you see which skills are useful for Documentation team (go and check it, you might be surprised) and for which project.

When you’ve found a project, or projects, go to its page to learn more about it – how to start contributing, where to go, who to ask..
