Contribute to documentation¶
Good software requires great documentation and Ubuntu is always looking for community members willing to lend their writing skills to the project. Community documentation, like the page you’re reading right now, is the product of a collaborative effort between Canonical and Ubuntu community members.
You can join live conversations around documentation in the #documentation:ubuntu.com room on Matrix.
Documentation practice¶
At Canonical, we have embarked on a comprehensive, long-term project to transform documentation. Our aim is to create and maintain documentation products and practice that represent a standard of excellence. We want documentation to be the best it possibly can be.

Discourse documentation¶
Some projects under our umbrella use Discourse for creating and editing documentation. You can see the Discourse post behind these pages by clicking “Help improve this document in the forum” at the bottom of the page. You can help improve our documentation by leaving a comment on the forum post. If you’re already active in that community’s forum, you can even edit the documentation directly!

Community Help wiki¶
The Community Help Wiki is a user-created and maintained library of Ubuntu-related documentation. A great way to help the Ubuntu Community is to ensure that this documentation is current and accurate. If there is missing documentation, you can also consider writing all new content.
