Documentation is highly valued, but often overlooked
Hi all, In 2017, Github (opensourcesurveyorg) conducted a survey on open source projects, and we believe that in 2022, some issues are still relevant.

It shows the importance of documentation in an Open source project and how frustrating it can be if it’s not a priority. Some important things, in my opinion:

1. When you encounter documentation problems, help a maintainer and open a change request to improve them.
2. Licenses are by far the most important type of documentation for users and contributors.
3. Documentation helps build engaged communities.
4. When communicating about a project, use language that is clear and accessible to people who are not born English or do not read English fluently.

I work for an open-source project; please feel free to comment if you have any tips for improving documentation.
