Sally Makin focused on enhancing documentation and build configuration across several open source projects, delivering three feature updates over three months. For major/cloud-init, she reorganized and expanded tutorials, introducing new sections for WSL and alternative deployment methods using RST and shell scripting to improve onboarding and cross-platform clarity. In canonical/rockcraft, she improved documentation accessibility by configuring Read the Docs to use extensionless DirHTML URLs, aligning with related projects and reducing onboarding friction through YAML-based build configuration. For canonical/sphinx-docs-starter-pack, she clarified sitemap documentation, addressing URL concatenation issues and refining guidance, demonstrating depth in technical writing and documentation workflows.

This update improves usability, reduces configuration errors, and supports smoother onboarding for users leveraging the starter pack.
