Documentation is an important part of what we do at the IOTA Foundation. It not only helps our community to get involved in what we’re building, it’s essential for real-world adoption.

Since we launched our documentation portal, we’ve made some great improvements:

We’ve added new content such as client library workshops with code you can run in the web browser

We’ve written with translation in mind, making sure that we use global English

We’ve improved the platform with new features such as message boxes and an extra level of navigation

As our technology improves and our ambitions grow, so do our documentation goals. We have lots of ideas for improving our content, and it would be great to get the open-source community involved.

This is why, this year, we are applying to take part in Google Season of Docs as an organization!

Google Season of Docs is a program that’s run by Google to connect technical writers to open source organizations. During the 3–6 month program, technical writers help to improve an organization’s documentation, and in return, the writers receive a stipend from Google.
