What is Documentation?
Documentation covers the written materials that explain how a project works, how to use it, and how to contribute to it. This includes README files, wikis, and citation files, all of which help users and contributors understand a repository without needing to read through all the source code. Good documentation is often what determines whether an open source project gets adopted or contributed to.
