Ⅱ、Documentation Contribution Process

1. Contribution Flowchart

2. Step-by-Step Process Description

Step 1: Create an Issue

• Template Selection: Choose the "Documentation Improvement" template on the Issue page of the Gitee/GitHub repository.
• Filling Specifications:

## Documentation Type
[User Guide/Technical White Paper/API Documentation]

## Modification Scope
- New: [Title of the new document]
- Revision: [Original document path]

## Requirement Background
[E.g., "Users feedback that the existing approval process documentation lacks screenshot instructions"]

Step 2: Claim the Task

• Community maintainers mark the Issue as To be Claimed, and contributors reply "/assign" in the comments to claim it.
• After claiming, the Issue status changes to In Progress, and it will be automatically released if no PR is submitted within 48 hours.

Step 3: Write Documentation

• Branch Rules: Pull a new branch from the main branch, named docs/[Issue Number]-[Brief Description] (e.g., docs/#45-auth-guide).
• Local Validation:
  • Use Markdown validation tools (such as Markdownlint) to ensure format compliance.
  • Run the documentation site generator for preview (such as VuePress).

Step 4: Submit a PR

• Title Format: docs: [Type] [Brief Description] (e.g., docs: User Guide Add Approval Process Configuration Instructions).
• Associate Issue: Mark Fixes #45 in the PR description.

Step 5: Review and Merge

• Initial Review (within 24 hours):
  • Format Check: Table alignment, code block syntax, no broken links.
  • Content Check: Technical accuracy, term consistency (e.g., consistently use "module" instead of "component").
• Final Review (within 48 hours):
  • Core maintainers verify technical details and may require supplementary diagrams or test cases if necessary.
• Merge Rules:
  • At least 1 maintainer approval (2 for large documents).
  • Automatically trigger CI checks (spelling verification, link validity).

Ⅲ、Review Standards and Tools

1. Review Checklist

Category	Standard
Accuracy	All technical descriptions are consistent with code behavior, without ambiguous expressions.
Completeness	User guides should cover the complete chain of "prerequisites-operation steps-examples-FAQ".
Readability	Paragraph length ≤ 5 lines, complex processes with flowcharts (PlantUML/Mermaid).
Internationalization	Chinese documents need to provide a glossary (Chinese-English comparison) for future translation.

2. Recommended Tools

• Markdown Validation: VS Code plugins Markdown All in One + markdownlint.
• Drawing Tools: PlantUML (flowcharts), Draw.io (architecture diagrams).
• Local Preview: VuePress local server for real-time rendering.
