I've been concerned for a while about the process of adding
documentation influencing changes. Our docs are in a separate repo and
this does have advantages. They do span multiple areas of the project
and in general this does work well for us. It does mean the docs are
consistent and have a common style/voice.

Equally, it is hard to ask users to add documentation changes in their
commits and this leads to the docs having to play catchup and pushes a
lot of work to the docs maintainers.

We're therefore going to try something new where I'll ask people to add
notes to a file in OE-Core, DOCS-WIP when they make a change which
needs docs updates. This will include changes which need a release
notes or migration guide entry. The docs maintainers will then know
what needs to be done and hopefully have at least the basic information
they need to make the docs changes needed.

This is an experiment but hopefully one that will be successful and let
our docs continue to grow.

Cheers,

Richard
