Excellent- More about Docs-as-Ecosystem: The Community Approach to Engineering Documentation
Investing in engineering documentation (Docs) is essential for improving the community user experience. This book teaches readers how to master the docs-as-code ecosystem, which recognizes that documentation is more than just code and involves technical writing, design, community feedback, community management, accessibility, SEO, UX, and AI tools. It provides practical skills for creating public style guides, incorporating responsive and accessible design, designing user flows and information architecture, retrieving user feedback, and setting up Docs analytics. It also discusses the difference between maintaining Docs for a product and an OSS technology and the secrets to managing technical writers and OSS contributions. Finally, it suggests that technical writers who harness AI tools should not fear a robot uprising.

Investing in engineering documentation (Docs) is not just about creating technical documents; it's about enhancing the community user experience. This book aims to empower communities to gain a deeper understanding of their favorite products and Open-Source (OSS) technologies by teaching them how to leverage the docs-as-code ecosystem.
Author Alejandra Quetzalli believes that "docs-as-ecosystem" represents a more comprehensive and collaborative approach to documentation development than "docs-as-code" because it recognizes that documentation goes beyond just code. Docs encompass a wide range of activities, including technical writing, design, community feedback, community management, accessibility, search engine optimization (SEO), user experience (UX), and even Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools.
The ecosystem approach promotes a mindset where documentation is treated as a complex and dynamic system that requires management and nurturing. In this book, readers will acquire practical skills for creating public style guides, incorporating responsive and accessible design, designing user flows and information architecture, retrieving user feedback, and setting up Docs analytics. They will learn to differentiate between maintaining Docs for a product versus an OSS technology and discover the secrets to managing technical writers and OSS contributions. Additionally, they will explore the future of technical writing, where AI tools like ChatGPT can be leveraged to enhance the productivity and efficiency of technical writers.
