Hi Johs, Awesome. Step 1 is follow these instructions to get started with the documentation https://github.com/apache/couchdb-documentation#building-this-repo
So git clone the repo, setup python environment (Make sure you have python installed) run make check - if that passes your setup is all good to go. Any errors you experience post here so we can then improve the getting started process for other people. Then its best to do a search for the documentation you want to change. Once you find where it is located. Make the edits. Once you have made your changes. Submit them as a PR and we can then review it and take it from there.
