## Documentation with mkdocs
Some features require documentation in our [GitHub pages site](https://aws-observability.github.io/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator/). We use [mkdocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/) which supports Markdown plus some [additional features](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/reference/). When working on your local copy you might want to check your changes before submitting. Here's a couple of steps to follow when adding documentation:
1. [Install](https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/installation/) mkdocs
2. If you add a new page, define the page in the [mkdocs.yml](https://github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator/blob/main/mkdocs.yml) file
3. Create the corresponding file in [/docs](https://github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator/tree/main/docs), matching the structure defined in `mkdocs.yml`
4. Render locally using `mkdocs serve`
5. Run [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) before sending your pull request
## Finding contributions to work on
Looking at the existing issues is a great way to find something to contribute on. As our projects, by default, use the default GitHub issue labels (enhancement/bug/duplicate/help wanted/invalid/question/wontfix), looking at any 'help wanted' issues is a great place to start.
