Staffan from Vaimo participated in the first Magento Docathon, and fittingly, he contributed by doing a massive overhaul and testing of our topic about how to contribute to DevDocs.
DevDocs Contributions
Vinai is a constant supporter of DevDocs, everything from giving early feedback on the new UI Components guide, to contributing in entirety two major topics on Testing.
Running Unit Tests
Running Integration Tests
Also many other contributions to existing topics, such as:
https://github.com/magento/devdocs/pull/775
https://github.com/magento/devdocs/pull/432
This amazing pack has contributed several topics, plus supported Devdocs in so many the ways: David Algers is our fearless moderator when the GitHub issues get deeply technical, Erik Hansen is our advisor and supporter and pusher, Jonathon Hodges has submitted great ideas for DevDocs, and every Classy Llama has consistently been there for us.
