Documentation Standardization Project Continues
You may have seen recent discussions and PRs around standardizing documentation across working groups. We will be continuing the standardization to include:
- README.md
- focus-areas/README.md & focus-areas/<focus-area-name>/README.md
- CONTRIBUTING.md
- code-of-conduct.md
Huge thanks to Yash and Ritik for their continued work on this project! ✨ You can read Yash’s post to the mailing list here.
