@freedosproject taskwarrior has some decent docs already but they suffer from being written long ago and being heavily patched. It also has manpages in troff that could use a conversion to a more writable format.
@djmitche Is this the correct link?

I'd like to find open source projects that need help with documentation: writing the docs, editing the docs, converting the docs (like from latex to HTML, from nroff to markdown, etc), … things like that.

@JeroenBaten Thanks!
I'm trying to help open source projects with their docs, while also helping tech writing students to get experience. It's a win-win! 👍

@dr_greg_landrum is this documentation help of interest to the RDKit? https://www.rdkit.org/docs/index.html For example splitting https://www.rdkit.org/docs/GettingStartedInPython.html into a page per topic so search results would lead more immediately to the desired code?
