Preface
In the TiDB Community, TiDBers continuously offer suggestions for document optimization. Since the launch of the Document Optimization section, we have collected 70 pieces of feedback regarding document errors and needs. Out of these, 68 suggestions have been accepted and fully implemented, with the remaining 2 still being optimized…
As the product iterates, the importance of documentation becomes increasingly evident. Complete, detailed, and easy-to-understand documentation is often a powerful tool for TiDBers to handle TiDB issues.
We are well aware of the shortcomings of the existing documentation and the vast amount of content that needs optimization and iteration. The priority and level of detail for new documentation need to be planned reasonably according to TiDBers’ needs. Therefore, through this survey, we hope TiDBers can provide case by case documentation suggestions and work with the documentation team to refine the documents, helping more TiDBers tackle and solve technical problems encountered in daily work.
