Work on Documentation Issues

You’ll review proposed documentation fixes for accuracy, style, and accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility), then leave feedback on the issue. This takes the heavy lifting off team members and helps publish fixes faster.
