Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!
A comprehensive (yet not necessarily complete) collection of facts about the developers of coreboot can be found on the Coreboot Developer Facts page.
