Any Open Source projects in need of documentation writer?

Curious about projects where a volunteer doc writer could make some impact.

Yes! I recently started maintaining https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny a self-hosted service for collecting and monitoring hard drive SMART data. Right now the docs are just a somewhat organized collection of markdown files in the repo. It would be great to have something more polished, rendered by GitHub pages, etc, but I have been prioritizing bug fixes and don't have the bandwidth (or expertise really) to improve the docs.

The latest release has ~500k downloads so it's a popular project and your contribution would be a pretty significant impact.

Perhaps one of the pages gathering projects that need help will be inspiring for you, i.e.: https://up-for-grabs.net/#/filters?date=6months&labels=&tags... or https://www.codetriage.com/ ?

I'm currently working on a major rewrite and it would be great to start off with great documentation!

It might be interesting to explain new concepts in the field of collaborative editing (e.g. how to attribute content).

Feel free to pm me at: hi@kevinjahns.de

Just out of curiosity, what would be the difference between what you write and what AI writes?

Whenever someone posts AI-written content, at least half the comments on this site are calling it out and saying they stopped reading. I think it's obvious at this point that AI has a certain writing profile, which includes blandness and punchy statements that are thin or vapid on inspection.
