There are a number of reasons for this, the most +important being the early commitment of Python's creator, Guido van Rossum, to +providing documentation on the language and its libraries, and the continuing +involvement of the user community in providing assistance for creating and +maintaining documentation. + +The involvement of the community takes many forms, from authoring to bug reports +to just plain complaining when the documentation could be more complete or +easier to use. + +This document is aimed at authors and potential authors of documentation for +Python. More specifically, it is for people contributing to the standard +documentation and developing additional documents using the same tools as the +standard documents. This guide will be less useful for authors using the Python +documentation tools for topics other than Python, and less useful still for +authors not using the tools at all. + +If your interest is in contributing to the Python documentation, but you don't +have the time or inclination to learn reStructuredText and the markup structures +documented here, there's a welcoming place for you among the Python contributors +as well. Any time you feel that you can clarify existing documentation or +provide documentation that's missing, the existing documentation team will +gladly work with you to integrate your text, dealing with the markup for you. +Please don't let the material in this document stand between the documentation +and your desire to help out! \ No newline at end of file
