Project Type​

  • Research
  • Open-Source Contribution

Project Description​

OpenDoc aims to improve and expand the documentation of well-known open source projects that have significant user bases but might lack comprehensive, user-friendly documentation. By enhancing documentation, we can foster a more inclusive community, making it easier for newcomers to contribute and use the software. This project will involve researching common pain points in existing documentation, writing new content, and collaborating with the original project maintainers to integrate our improvements.

Objective​

To identify, enhance, and expand the documentation of at least three popular open source projects, making them more accessible and user-friendly for both new and existing users.

Technologies/Tools​

  • Markdown (for documentation writing)
  • Git & GitHub (for version control and collaboration)
  • Feedback tools (e.g., Disqus, for collecting user feedback on documentation)

GitHub Repository​
