No worries! Excited to be a part of the community and help out where I can. These docs look great! I think open sourcing them and allowing users to have input is fantastic. What we see with docs a lot is that the pain usually lies in generating the initial docs (which you crushed!) and then in maintaining them. As products and features change, particularly with technical products / docs, then the docs become out of date and/or irrelevant, which can lead to a negative user experience.

TL;DR: prioritizing the docs before launching a new feature and keeping the docs up to date are very important. The longer one puts it off the longer the to do list becomes.

Great insight! Thanks for sharing. Ya the initial docs was a full day grind but we’re glad we have that to fall back on now

Stephen Cook is being modest. He once won an industry award at Salesforce for the docs on our product there.
