Documentation has always been a major difficulty for new Drupal users. To solve this, the Drupal community collaborated with Drupalize.me to develop modern, user-friendly documentation for Drupal CMS and its core functionalities.
This enhanced documentation will assist users in navigating all aspects of Drupal, making it more accessible to both novices and professionals.
As part of this campaign, the Drupal community has established the "Adopt a Document" program. This enables corporations to sponsor specific areas of the documentation, ensuring that Drupal instructions are up-to-date and relevant. This work will also help fund the compilation of professional documentation that will be maintained in the long run.
