Katherine Brown enhanced the developer onboarding experience for the ngageoint/mage-server repository by refining project documentation and streamlining the setup process. She focused on clarifying the README and introduced a new installation command in Markdown that installs only instance dependencies, intentionally omitting development dependencies to resolve issues with the nga-msi plugin. This targeted documentation update reduced ambiguity for new contributors and improved the reliability of plugin-based workflows. While the work was limited in scope to documentation and did not involve bug fixes or feature development, it laid a foundation for smoother future contributions and more efficient local development environments.
