Hi @jsundai - Do you have a ticket number for this to help with tracking and reporting? Thanks!

Thank you for working on this. Great idea to modernize it!

I hope clarity on Clair's goals can help shape this page, motivating how we are open source, including docs, and how much we appreciate external contributions of all kinds and the benefits of leaving a mark on the community people are engaged with.

I also think it would help to talk about linking issues and PRs and what kinds of patches and enhancements people can offer.

Right now, there's no introduction and the instructions feel a little abrupt. I think that's easily fixed, and we can encourage further involvement with calls to action.

We should consider pushing Kapa as a great tool for checking whether material is already written but not yet in the docs themselves.

I look forward to seeing where this file ends up.
