This guide is intended to help you get started at a contributor day. It includes a schematic outline of what the group does and how to quickly get started. If you need any help, talk to the contributor day organizer, or ask your question in the #docs channel on Slack.

The Docs team is responsible for WordPress’ user and developer documentation, in the administration screens, in the Codex, and in other sections of WordPress.org.

HelpHub – Take a look at the Helphub handbook and contact @Kenshinoin in the #docs channel on Slack if you need help
If you wish to work on the handbooks, contact someone in #docs on Slack to give you editor capabilities. The following people are usually around: @drewapicture, @Kenshino, @wizzard.
