The Microsoft documentation set is not a single GitHub repository. It is many repositories, all with active writers, support engineers, and SLAs.
When you see an issue in the docs or you think a concept or technique is unclear, GitHub repositories allow you to:
- Add an issue, via an Edit button, that is sent directly to the Product group or Content Developer.
- Create a pull request (PR), that is sent directly to the Product group or Content Developer.
Is this open source though? Absolutely. You can immediately impact all users of the docs in a positive way.
2 things you can do when logging an issue against the docs:
- Be specific. Your comment is attached to the entire doc. Be specific where in the doc the issue is and what wording, image, or sample code is problematic.
- Be available. Some times an issue is deeper than a simple fix. If someone has a followup question, respond with information if you have it.
Can you make the fix via a pull request? Yes. That speeds up the process.
