O3DE Documentation & Community Special Interest Group

Welcome to the Documentation and Community Special Interest Group (D&C SIG) of Open 3D Foundation!

We run the o3de.org/docs website, manage its content, and work with the Open 3D Engine (O3DE) community to set standards and keep O3DE a collaborative, accepting environment for all. The SIG consists of a docs side and a community side who work closely together to provide learning content and community events. Just to name a few, this includes O3DE Documentation, video tutorials, blog posts, and live streams.

You can reach us at @sig-docs-community on Discord!

For a broader view of the whole O3DE community, go to the o3de/community repo.

In summary, our responsibilities include:

• Maintaining the content of the O3DE Documentation in the official O3DE website
• Supporting documentation requirements and publishing API references for core O3DE features, including Atom Renderer
• Official blogs, samples, demos, tutorials, and training
• Managing forums, Discord, and other community engagement channels

For more information, see the official Documentation and Community SIG Charter.

How can you contribute?

Contribute to O3DE Documentation

Whether it's filing an issue, updating existing docs, or even writing completely new docs - we highly appreciate all efforts to improving the documentation.

If you're thinking of contributing to the docs, review Contributing to O3DE Documentation for onboarding instructions, style guides, and docs templates.

Write a blog post

If your team is working on an exciting project with O3DE or developing an awesome feature for the engine, then share the news in a blog post!
