Contributing to the Docs

Language

Overview

There are several ongoing efforts to produce high quality documentation for Scala 3. In particular there are the following documents:

  • Scala 3 book
  • Macros tutorial
  • Migration guide
  • Scala 3 language reference

We welcome contributions from the community to every aspect of the documentation.

How can I contribute?

In general, there are many ways you can help us:

  • Confused about something in any of the docs? Open an issue.
  • Found something not up-to-date? Open an issue or create a PR.
  • Typos and other small text enhancements? Create a PR.
  • Want to add something new or make larger changes? Great! Please open an issue and let us discuss this.

Typically, each of the different documentation projects contain links (and so does this document, in the table-of-contents pane - so far only visible in the desktop view) to edit and improve them. Additionally, below we provide you with the necessary information to get started.
