## Documentation
The first version of the help vault was written by Silver. Later part of it was written by [@mediapathic](http://mediapathic.net), with a big help from Reggie. We also got corrections from the many pairs of eyes in the Discord and forum community.
The docs was maintained by [Marcus Olsson](https://marcus.se.net/) for a while. Currently it’s maintained by the Obsidian team.
We now accept pull requests to the help vault in [our docs repo](https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-docs/). Issues are welcome.
