Topic: good first issue

Should we create some easy issues for future documentation writers to work on?

GitHub encourages labeling these as "good first issue" and they appear at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/contribute

For example, I just noticed this typo in the guides: orgization

We could make a good first issue out of it and encourage people to fix it. Maybe we could even mention in on the mailing list.

We got a PR already: #11821. Looks good. I just approved it.

I made another (docs-related) good first issue...

In guides, update dataverse-ansible linksΒ #11848

... and again someone asked to work on it right away! :mind:
