I work with a FOSS project that needs better documentation. We have some written stuff but want to add video guides and some more written stuff as well. There’s also some desire to re-organize our existing documentation using some system like ReadTheDocs etc. Our devs are good devs, not good documentarians. We have money.
I know we could just go on upwork and find somebody to make this, but I’m curious if there’s a company or organization out there that specializes in making documentation for FOSS projects? One we could pay to have this done?
Edit: Not going to name the FOSS project, don’t want this post to look promotional. I am just trying to see if the service we’re looking for exists.

That sounds like a student project if I’ve ever heard one… What’s the FOSS project?

I do stuff like this. Copywriting for different companies, differing topics. As an admin and hobby dev I‘m somewhat adept at technical language. Send me a dm if you want to talk business.
I‘ll also check the other sites mentioned. Thanks. :)

I know you said you have money, but Google’s “Season of the Docs” program might be worth looking into: https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs
Interesting, thanks for this suggestion!

Honestly I’d reach out to a group like WriteTheDocs instead of upwork for better talent
Great resource thank you!
