The TYPO3 Documentation Team

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!

Contribution Workflow

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.

Responsibilities of the Documentation Team

The Documentation Team provides the following:

  • Information about how to write documentation
  • Support via the #typo3-documentation Slack channel. We answer questions about writing documentation and using the tools
  • Support the TYPO3 CMS Core Team and other teams in their documentation efforts
  • Render official manuals and extensions on the documentation server docs.typo3.org via automated toolchain
  • A Docker image for local rendering
  • A theme
  • Organize sprints for working on documentation related tasks
  • Promote documentation work by writing news on typo3.org, tweeting and speaking at events

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.
  • https://api.typo3.org: The technical infrastructure is handled by the Server Team.
  • 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.
