Coordinating major documentation projects with GitLab
The Good Docs Project crossed a major milestone in May and partnered with our first major organization, GitLab! They officially invited us to become a member of their https://thegooddocsproject.dev/blog/we-are-gitlab-open-source-partners/[Open Source Partners Program].
As one of our first projects together, The Good Docs Project co-chair Aaron Peters and I partnered with GitLab to write a blog entry about how we use GitLab in our release planning and management. It also explains how we use our release notes template as part of our release process.
The Good Docs Project recently achieved a significant milestone: releasing version v1.0.0 of our project. It was an exciting moment for our community of contributors dedicated to improving the quality of software documentation by sharing best practices - the first time we felt confident putting our production-ready documentation templates into the world for other software projects to review, use, and help us improve.
Organizing and executing a release of this magnitude requires extensive planning and sophisticated project management tools. Luckily, our community uses GitLab, so we had everything we needed at our disposal.
