Hello Michele, Thanks for your interest in the documentation team! There is plenty of work to be done. We have been working on updating the User Guides from the 3.X version to the 4.1 version. There are six guides and only one, Getting Started, has been released in a 4.1 version. Each guide has 300 - 400 pages. Three of us, me, Keith N. McKenna and Dick Groskamp, have been active over the last couple of years. We use a Git repository to store and track the versions and we edit them with Writer.
A few questions: Are you interested in updating the user guides or were you thinking of some other kind of contribution? We are happy to get any kind of help. Have you subscribed to the doc mailing list? If not, the instructions for subscribing are here: https://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html Have you worked with Git? We use it at a very basic level. I look forward to hearing how you would like to contribute to the documentation team.
