Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the docs!
Welcome to the documentation section of the Besu wiki!

Documentation contributions come in the form of writing new documentation, raising issues with the current docs, correcting mistakes, helping others in chat with doc content and more.

Useful contributing links
DCO is also needed for Besu docs (as for Besu code)
Pull Requests - the same process is used for Besu code and Besu docs
Code Reviews - again, the same process is used for Besu code and Besu docs
Still no luck?
Still unsure of where to start, even after looking at our good-first-issues and help-wanted tags in our issue dashboard?
- Take a look at past (done) issues and look at what others have done to help
- Read the code base and try to understand how stuff works under the hood
- read the Besu docs and try to find errors, outdated information, or simple spelling mistakes, etc
- help build this wiki by adding more contributor information
- reach out on RocketChat!
