Hi Olivier, Thank you for your response. Are the docs mainly situated in the books on the documentation page? I think I would prefer to handle the Getting Started pages first, and then progressing from there to other projects. That being said, is there any rudimentary work that I can do to get familiar with your protocols? I downloaded the doc template off of the website, but I was wondering if there was some proofreading work or basic writing work that I could practice on before handling a larger project.
