How to help improve documentation

  • Doxygen: We want to document most or all of Minetest core with Doxygen-style code comments.
  • The usage of doxygen is explained there.
  • Head over to #minetest-dev on IRC, and ask someone there to help you get started with documentation. You'll need to download the project through Git and then make your changes.
