Many docs contributions across several infra repos, including both content and Antorra syntax bugfixes.
Some noodly ideas about how to implement link checking across all docs repos to surface issues.

I care deeply about docs and new contributor onboarding. I'm usually the sole docs guy everywhere I work.
Former newspaper editor.
I can code.
My compliments are better than the LLM's.
How insightful of you to +1 this nomination!

Hey @mwinters, happy to see you getting involved with the Fedora Docs Team! Since membership in the FAS group does grant write access to several repositories, could you provide some links to examples of your Fedora Docs contributions? The main thing is that it will help to see some of your changes and how you write AsciiDoc. Since we have not seen you in the team issue tracker, meetings, or Matrix room until now, it will help folks to get a sense of what your portfolio of past work looks like before voting.

Hmm, I kinda float around the project and many of the larger ones were back in Pagure. A few that I can quickly find:

docs/team-docs#53 (status: OPEN, ahem 😄)
infra/docs#509 - A large refactoring which is the basis for many more infra docs I want to land there. Review times are long this holiday week.
infra/docs#413

But really I was requesting to join because I've had ideas in the back of my head (since before I created my FAS account) about how to detect / remediate errors across all docs modules, and it sounds like others are thinking about the same. I've been wanting to work on this again as a sort of "palette cleanser" / mini vacation from the data work.

We talked about docs metrics at CentOS Connect this year and about creating some metrics for docs progress monitoring. And I hope, we can bring this forward.
