This document discusses Drupal documentation. It explains that Drupal documentation includes the Drupal handbooks on Drupal.org, API documentation generated from code comments, and help text within the Drupal admin interface. Documentation can be translated using translation files. The document encourages contributors to edit and improve documentation, noting that it benefits both the Drupal community and individuals. It announces that the Knight Foundation is funding documentation sprints and provides resources for contributing to documentation.
