This repository holds the source files for the Jetty 9 documentation hub. Jetty itself is an open source web server, and this project is where its manuals, guides, and reference materials are written and maintained. Anyone who wants to improve or fix the official docs can do so here. The content is written in a markup language and styled with CSS, which means contributors write text files that get formatted into readable web pages. The repository doesn't run the server, it only produces the documentation that explains how to use it. You would fork the project, make your changes, and submit them back for review. The people who typically contribute are Jetty users, developers, and technical writers who notice a gap or an error in the existing guides. For example, if someone figures out a tricky configuration that isn't well documented, they can add a section here so the next person has an easier time. Contributions are accepted under the EPL 1.0 license, meaning anything you submit becomes part of the same open source documentation corpus. Beyond that, the README doesn't go into detail on build steps or tooling, so you'd need to explore the repository structure itself to understand how the docs are assembled and published.
