Where to contribute
Discover where you can make an impact and start contributing.
Documentation
First off, there's a lot of documentation, and it's not always easy to keep it updated or know if we covered all the details you need to know to follow them. We would love your help to verify the documentation. That is, to follow the docs to the letter and see if you’re successful or missing anything.
Find detailed instructions on how to contribute to the docs directly on the documentation site. Here, we have outlined the steps involved with testing and checking the articles against our style guide. In the same article, you can also learn much more about the rules we’re checking the docs against.
