Drupal Starshot blog: Adopt a Document – new fundraising program to bring Drupal documentation to the next level

Every great product needs a great supporting documentation – this rule is as simple and well known as it is hard to stick to, especially if we are talking about the continuously growing Open Source system that Drupal is. A while ago we came to realise that Drupal documentation needs a revamp. Together with ever amazing community members, the DA engineering team has been looking for a solution that will bring world class documentation to Drupal and that joint effort did not go in vain as such a solution has been defined!

As each of you can imagine, the goal of overhauling documentation tooling to a modern docs-as-code system is a big challenge so it is logical that we decided to define bite-sized deliverables and today we are happy to announce the first phase of the project – delivering clear and easy to follow user guide for Drupal CMS. And we need your help!

The Drupal Association is kicking off an initiative to bring Drupal.org documentation and accompanying software to world-class level. For the first phase dedicated to the Drupal CMS we are partnering with Drupalize.me: they will create the gold-standard user guide for Drupal CMS. 

But that is just the beginning! As a next step Drupal Association will onboard the Documentation Lead who, in close collaboration with the community, will help to ensure that Drupal.org documentation is clear, comprehensive and current. 

Last but not the least, we will implement a docs-as-code system that will improve the creation and maintenance process of documentation. 

Now the question is how you can help? And the answer is simple – by “Adopting a Document”!

Inspired by the “Adopt a Highway” program that is becoming more and more popular in North America, we created a way for the partners to get involved in creating great documentation by taking care of one of the Drupal CMS milestones and sponsoring creation and further maintenance of the documentation for one or multiple Drupal CMS working tracks.

Thanks to your support, future users of Drupal CMS will be able to easily find answers to the questions that might arise as they discover Drupal CMS capabilities.

But not only that, as we find it fair for the partners who will decide to contribute to the initiative to receive some benefits:

  • Your logo will be placed in the sidebar of the adopted documentation section—which Your logo will be placed on the documentation page(s) you adopt, visible to the thousands of new users we expect to try Drupal CMS

  • Your logo will be highlighted on Drupal.org as a Drupal CMS sponsor, as well as at DrupalCons for the next year!

  • For each $100 of contribution you will receive 1 credit that you will be able to use within 1 year.

We’ve got 30 documentation sections available for sponsorship so far. You can adopt one of those and by donating $2400 you will ensure that future users will be able to easily find answers to the questions that might arise as they discover Drupal CMS as well as will enable for the next phase of the project to get started. 

Sounds exciting, right? So if you are keen to be part of Adopt a document – do reach out to me and let’s work together to bring Drupal Documentation to the new level!
