[ANNOUNCE] New Documentation Style Guide

Aljoscha Krettek-2
Hi Everyone,

we just merged a new style guide for documentation writing:
https://flink.apache.org/contributing/docs-style.html.

Anyone who is writing documentation or is planning to do so should check
this out. Please open a Jira Issue or respond here if you have any
comments or questions.

Some of the most important points in the style guide are:

  - We should use direct language and address the reader as you instead
of passive constructions. Please read the guide if you want to
understand what this means.

  - We should use "alert blocks" instead of simple inline alert tags.
Again, please refer to the guide to see what this means exactly if
you're not sure.

There's plenty more and some interesting links about
technical/documentation writing as well.

Best,
Aljoscha

Great summary! Thanks for adding the translation specification in it.
I learned a lot from the guide.

Thanks for the great work! This is very helpful to keep the documentation style consistent across the whole project. It's also very helpful for non-native English contributors like me.

Thank for the great work,

In 1.10, I have modified and reviewed some documents. In that process,
sometimes there is some confusion, how to write is the standard. How to
write is correct to the users.
Docs style now tells me. Learned a lot.

Best,
Jingsong Lee

Re: [ANNOUNCE] New Documentation Style Guide

Zhijiang(wangzhijiang999)
Thanks for bringing this great and valuable document.

I read through the document and was inspired especially by some sections in "Voice and Tone" and "General Guiding Principles".
 I think it is not only helpful for writing Flink documents, but also provides guideline/benefit for other writings.
It also reminded me to extend the Flink glossary if necessary.

Best,
Zhijiang

Re: [ANNOUNCE] New Documentation Style Guide

Xintong Song
Thanks for the summary!

I've read through the guidelines and found it very helpful. Many of the
questions I had while working on the 1.10 docs the answer can be found in
the guideline. And it also inspires me with questions I have never thought
of, especially the language style part.

Thank you~

Xintong Song

Aljoscha Krettek-2
Just to be clear: I didn't write this style guide. Marta (in cc) wrote
this, I just finally merged it.

Best,
Aljoscha
