1. Explore the Current Documentation:

   • Visit the Globaleaks documentation to review the existing documentation.
   • Identify areas where improvements can be made, such as:
     • Missing or unclear instructions.
     • Sections that are outdated or need further explanation.

   • Provide a brief description of what you've updated in the PR description.
   • Ensure your changes are well-formatted and consistent with the rest of the documentation.

5. Request Feedback:

   • After submitting your PR, ask for feedback from other contributors or maintainers to ensure your changes are accurate and helpful.
   • Be open to suggestions and make any necessary revisions based on the feedback you receive.
