I am looking to get involved in contributing to Codeberg and starting with documentation is low hanging fruit and something where most beginners will start.
I was looking at issue 240 and there was a reference to this article in the documentation How to make screenshots for Codeberg Documentation?.
It outlines using codeberg-test.org using a Knut demo account in the test environment for generating screenshots.
Documentation is something most beginners generally start with when starting to dive into the world of contributing to opensource projects.
I was hoping to work with the Codeberg team to discuss a pathway forward to either:
- Update this article, removing that requirement
- Discussion on how to structure solution that enables beginners to contribute screenshots to the documentation without these kinds of barriers, hopefully enabling more people to start contributing to this project.
- Expanding the documentation with a screenshot contribution framework with guidelines of screenshot contribution, removing the need for potentially needing to generate the screenshots using a test environment to begin with.
The primary idea behind this issue is how can we enable beginners to get involved and contribute to the documentation which includes being able to provide screenshots.
