open-telemetry/opentelemetry.io

OpenTelemetry.io is a documentation and website repository that serves as the central hub for the OpenTelemetry project.

The repository hosts the official OpenTelemetry website, project documentation, and blog content. It is built using Hugo and deployed on Netlify. The site functions as the primary entry point for users learning about OpenTelemetry, providing guides, API documentation, and community resources. The documentation is structured to help both newcomers and experienced users understand and implement OpenTelemetry's observability standards.

Developers should use this repository if they are contributing to OpenTelemetry's documentation or maintaining the project's web presence. The site is particularly valuable for those new to OpenTelemetry, as it serves as the first touchpoint for understanding the project's capabilities and getting started. The repository welcomes contributions from community members, especially from newcomers who can identify gaps or unclear sections in the documentation. Contributors can submit blog posts, fix documentation issues, and improve content clarity through the established contribution process.

The project maintains active community engagement through regular meetings held every two weeks, with notes documented publicly. The development activity shows structured governance with defined maintainer, approver, and triager roles across the community. The project operates with a formal contribution review process and maintains a security policy for handling vulnerabilities. Documentation contributions are guided by a style guide and contributor's guide to ensure consistency and quality across the site.
