GBIF produces digital-first technical documentation on a range of topics relating to biodiversity informatics and open biodiversity data to support the community of practice. Text and other content are maintained in open GBIF GitHub repositories and published into HTML and PDF formats using an open-source publishing toolchain called AsciiDoctor. Support for translations is integrated via CrowdIn, which provides a free non-commercial licence that supports the efforts of GBIF's volunteer translator community.
GBIF participants produce a wealth of resources to support the community of practice. This section will highlight guiding examples and CESP projects that focus on reusable training and documentation.
