Latest news

In the last meetup, we discussed about the possibilty to “expand” examples in the doc in order to show the full code. The goal is to prevent issues from copy/paste where try / ? are used.

Another thing was that it should be more obvious that the code examples could actually be run online. To this issue, a PR has already be opened here.

Please take a look to the next rust doc days planning reminder.

The topic to propose crates for the Rust Doc Days is still open and waiting for contributions here. Please take a look!

There are currently around 70 other documentation issues opened. Look for A-docs tagged issues on GitHub!

Waiting for merge
