Our main goal is to provide comprehensive, relevant, up-to-date and easy to find documentation about TYPO3 products for all users.
The Documentation Team provides the support for you - the community - to write great documentation. Although we love writing and updating documentation, the purpose of our team is to provide the TYPO3 community with the tools to improve documentation.
This includes providing information about how to use those tools. We strongly encourage the community to get involved. If you want to start right now, skip to the Contribute section on this page!
The Documentation Team has regular Slack calls to talk about ongoing tasks. They also hold joint online documenting sessions. Meetings are announced in the #typo3-documentation Slack channel.

Good documentation is important. You can contribute!
Did you know that contributing to the documentation has never been easier? That you are just one click away from starting a contribution yourself every time you visit a page on https://docs.typo3.org? Every official manual is contained in a GitHub repository and can be edited by anyone with a GitHub account. You can also edit a page directly on GitHub. All you need is a browser. If you are familiar with using Git and Docker, you can clone the repository and edit and render locally instead.
The following tasks were previously the responsibility of the documentation team and have now been redefined:
Translation of manuals: The Documentation Team can help others in matters concerning workflow and tools, but it concentrates its efforts mainly on writing manuals in English.
Writing content: Writing content is the responsibility of the TYPO3 community as a whole.
Maintaining content: Content must be continuously updated and maintained. The long term goal is to put this in the hands of dedicated manual maintainers.
Step‐by‐Step Guides are hands-on tutorials focused on completing a single, practical task from start to finish. Here’s what they are, how they differ from traditional documentation, and why they can be a go-to resource when learning or contributing to TYPO3.
It is with deep sadness that I learned about the passing of Ryan Weaver on 25 August 2025. Ryan was a beloved teacher, Symfony core team member, and a true inspiration in the PHP open source community.
Clear, reliable documentation empowers users, welcomes newcomers, and ensures long-term success. The TYPO3 Documentation Team is calling on community members to help improve and expand the docs. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.
