Supporting Open Web Docs to deliver web developer documentation

[News]

Today, we’re happy to share our support for Open Web Docs, a new collective launching today which is dedicated to sustainably supporting high-quality, browser-agnostic, community-driven web developer documentation. Open Web Docs employs full-time writing staff to support the development and maintenance of web developer documentation, independent of any one vendor or organization. This announcement builds on our ongoing commitment to contribute to the health and sustainability of critical web developer documentation, particularly MDN Web Docs. Microsoft joins Coil and Google as a founding sponsor alongside additional support from Mozilla, Samsung, and the W3C, and generous contributions from a community of individual and organizational backers. Open Web Docs launches today, with further roadmap details coming soon. The collective’s initial goals are focused on supporting MDN’s recent infrastructure transition and contributing to core web technology documentation, browser compatibility data, and JavaScript documentation on MDN Web Docs. You can learn more at the Open Web Docs collective page, on GitHub, or by following @OpenWebDocs for updates. – Kyle Pflug, Principal PM Lead, Microsoft Edge Developer Experience

This is a truly awesome idea of supporting web documents. I`m sure that even users who aren`t related to web developing will find it advantageous. On terms of maintaining documentation, it also might be useful to create designed user manuals with organized and detailed information for web developers. They're much easier to navigate in and as a result save quite a lot of time. I personally created manuals on docsie.io for my web design course and I guess they significantly facilitated learning process. It's convenient to maintain all the study material in one manual rather than dozens of different files.
