At first: Thanks four your interest. 🙂 I am working on a tutorial on how to contribute currently. You can find the state as is here: > [@\[Wiki\] How to contribute to the openHAB Documentation](https://community.openhab.org/t/wiki-how-to-contribute-to-the-openhab-documentation/111308): > > Contributing to the Documentation can be tricky, especially when you don’t have a software/programming background. One reason for this may be way of how we are storing and processing the documentation pages. We do it with a version control system like it is known in software development. This tutorial/wiki aims to lower down the entry hurdle for interested users, who would like to help us improve/fix the documentation. We will cover some facts about our documentation and what we are doing wi… But “of course” the important “how to” parts are still missing.

Instead of repeating my answers on github again and again i would like to write a short FAQ on dco check and the usage in the openhab-docs repository. What is a sign-off-statement Basically that is just a “comment” you make for every commit you are trying to contribute, which has to be in a specified format with specified contents and it should be… About the content: I would indeed use a new page for this. Api tokens could be used for scripts accessing through rest api or in apps that query the api but users wont get in touch with the api part. Let’s discuss the how to best implement this on github. (IN the issue linked above) I don’t want to takeover this thread too much. 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://community.openhab.org/t/generate-new-api-token/113509)._
