[edit]- Reviews are critical to quality documentation. Technical documentation on Wikimedia projects is often not reviewed for quality or accuracy. There is a nascent technical document review process that needs further development and support. In this project, you would help to clarify and refine the process, create supporting material and work with the technical community to help implement this system.
