Project description
Creative Commons (CC) is an international nonprofit organization “that enables sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge through the provision of free legal tools”. This project aims to revamp the existing CC Catalog API documentation to include more narrative elements and increase user friendliness. The documentation will be updated with how-tos, examples, and make use of Vocabulary, CC's design system. Even so, as the focal point of this project will potentially be delivered before the end of the GSOD period, this project will also improve the CC Catalog API repo documentation for potential contributors. This project will also produce guidelines for contributing to documentation.
