Investing in engineering documentation (docs) means investing in community user experience. This book teaches how mastering the proposed docs-as-ecosystem model empowers communities to understand better their favorite products and Open-Source (OSS) technologies.

Quetzalli believes that "docs-as-ecosystem" represents a more holistic and collaborative approach to documentation development than "docs-as-code" because it recognizes that documentation is more than just code. Docs involve technical writing, design, community feedback, community management, accessibility, SEO, UX, and today… even Artificial Intelligence tools! The word ecosystem promotes a paradigm where software documentation is treated as a dynamic system managed by our communities.
