Yeah .. makes sense. It would be cool to centralize everything related to
documentation to focus efforts and avoid duplications.

Hi Taher

Thanks for the feedback, I'll do that. I am also wondering about grouping
all existing Jira documentation tickets into the one main umbrella task
too. Like you say it will then be a single point of reference. It could
also help us clean up some old issues that have been hanging around as they
are absorbed into the documentation effort.

Thanks

Great work sharan. Maybe in the future we should be putting the HR
umbrella task itself as a sub-task of the entire documentation
umbrella task. This way when we branch out to other docs we know where
to reference and group them.
