Presenter: Stephen Tramer

O3DE has adopted contributor rules and the SIG established reviewer roles. Contributor rules were geared towards documentation code and so we need to make some additions:
- "Lines of code" will not be used as a metric for docs. In its place we will consider:
- Regular contributions of good quality for promotion to Reviewer
- Higher numbers of reviews and regular participation for Maintainer
- Reviewer roles expressed in the role list will be unofficial (other than tech reviewer requirements) and reviewers who believe they can capability fill the role should do so. Specialized roles might require training.

@sptramer - Create PR to update the contributor guidelines and add the appropriate labels.

Presenter: Stephen Tramer

In order to get started with O3DE and understand our existing plans for the site and content, the Amazon team needs to find and export some information for things like content taxonomy and ToC design.
Contributors also need guidance on where to get started, how to go through the early workflows, etc.

Presenter: Stephen Tramer (proposer not present)

The proposal was ACCEPTED with minor edits to ensure that it's clearly focused on documentation.
- The proposal was not assigned an owner and is not considered an active project.
