I advocate for three principles in documentation, which I refer to as **ALE** 🍺🍻. You can also find these principles at [alemanifesto.com](https://alemanifesto.com/).
The ALE Manifesto emphasizes three key principles for effective documentation:
#### Accessible
- Ensure documents are searchable, easily accessible, and understandable across disciplines.
- Simplify navigation.
#### Living
- Regularly update documents to prevent obsolescence.
- Integrate updates naturally into workflows and use version control.
#### Easy to Contribute
- Use common formats like Markdown for flexibility.
- Encourage contributions from both maintainers and readers to enhance quality and relevance.
