Yes. As the call for proposals outlines this is for analysing the
status quo and making a plan and work packages for others (potentially
another contractor) to take on afterwards. It is not about actually
writing any documentation. The task is only about developer
documentation for now. It has a specific focus on on-boarding related
documentation for developers. More can come after that if things turn
out well.
But this is starting to be out of the scope of this mailinglist. If
you have more specific questions/comments/wishes let's take it
off-list.


Cheers
Lydia
