The TYPO3 Documentation Team is excited to announce the transition to a new PHP-based reStructured Text (reST) rendering engine for TYPO3 documentation. This shift, from the previous Sphinx-based system, promises significant improvements in speed, ease of use, and accessibility for contributors.

The TYPO3 Documentation Team underwent dynamic changes throughout 2023, fostering resilience and innovation in maintaining and enhancing the project's documentation.

I joined the TYPO3 Community Sprint held in Düsseldorf 20–22 November 2023. This was my first time attending one of these events in person. Until now, my only experience was an online Community Sprint back in July. It was cool and kinda exciting to meet all these TYPO3 folks face-to-face.

The Best Practices team's inaugural remote sprint is happening on 27 November 2023. We'll meet on Slack for a day of general housework and working through our backlog.

This is a half-year report of the Best Practices Team. Read on to find out about our efforts so far, and think about how you can get involved.

I really didn’t know what to expect when I decided to go to my first code sprint at TYPO3 HQ. I had been to a few TYPO3 bar camps before so I knew a few faces and names, and I had already met Lina Wolf (the head of the Documentation Team) online when I attended a Documentation Team meeting.

On 20 and 21 April 2023, members of at least four open-source projects will meet at the TYPO3 office in Düsseldorf, Germany, to bring PHP-based reStructuredText parsing forward.

The TYPO3 documentation tools are constantly improved by the TYPO3 Documentation Team to support you, the reader, in getting comprehensive information and quickly finding answers to your questions, and to help you, the author, in creating documentation and to increase the visibility and popularity of your extension in the TYPO3 world.

Working intensively together in one place over a few days can be more effective than working alone. That’s why the TYPO3 community organizes sprints. Learn from experts and help a team get stuff done.

Martin Bless has decided to step down as Documentation Team leader but he will stay in the team and continue to support us. Lina Wolf will become the new Documentation Team leader.
