Session
Fedora documentation has felt like a bit of a problem area for years. While we do have a respectable set of docs, its organization is lacking, and there are plenty of gaps, especially in documentation aimed at end-users. The project also struggles to find recurring contributors. The overall project situation has improved significantly in recent years, compared to a low point around 2020-2021, but there is still much to do.
This talk will discuss the current state of the Fedora Docs Project and its development over the past several years, identify common hurdles and issues that keep potential contributors away, present a user survey of Fedora Docs (scheduled for April), and outline next steps that we plan to take to both get more people involved and make contributing easier, as well as to improve and expand the existing documentation set: automation, streamlining the git workflow, and so on.
