Announcing the Documentation Workgroup

I’m thrilled to announce the formation of the Documentation Workgroup!

Documentation is an integral part of writing code and there has been a lot of
excitement from the community around delivering great resources for crafting
delightful documentation.

Goals

The Documentation Workgroup aims to deliver a great documentation
experience for the Swift language and ecosystem with the following goals:

• Guide development for documentation tooling such as Swift-DocC to benefit the
  entire ecosystem
• Define processes that govern contributions to documentation tooling

The workgroup will work to drive a cohesive documentation experience across
Swift. Over time, the workgroup will help define guidelines for writing great
documentation and participate in the documentation experience for the Swift
language itself.

Diversity in Swift

The workgroup will actively help developers participate in
Swift’s documentation experience with the goal of lowering the barrier to making
technical contributions to the project. To accomplish this, the workgroup will be
an active member of the Swift Mentorship
Program, providing
direct guidance to members of the community. Just like other Swift workgroups,
the Diversity in Swift team will work with the Documentation Workgroup to
ensure the principles and interests of the entire Swift community are always
considered.

Next Steps

To learn more and get involved with the Documentation Workgroup:

• Read the Swift Documentation Workgroup charter
• Discuss ideas in the
  Swift-DocC forum
• Use the @swift-documentation-workgroup handle to reach out to the workgroup
  directly in forums
