"Open source” carries a lot of meaning in the world of technology these days. Twenty years after the term was coined, open source projects harness the power of voluntary contributors to produce and support software that is quickly growing in its impact on every industry, in every location.

At its core, open source merely means that a product ships with the code that was written to produce it. The ability to access this source code creates the potential for modification and repackaging that is governed by a variety of open source licenses. It also can allow people to contribute modifications back into the core project, so that everyone benefits from those modifications.

As a software company built on the principles of providing superior service while also promoting the common good, we at [Redis Labs](https://www.redislabs.com) decided to bring this open source agility to a less known, but highly impactful, area -- Product Documentation.

## The Next Revolution - Open source docs

Open source gives everyone some level of access to the source files of the product. In the case of Redis Labs docs, that means putting the source files of our documentation in a publicly accessible repository. Anyone can view those source files and edit a copy of the files to suggest contributions, changing the writer from the content owner to the content editor and curator. You can even get there straight from the “Edit on GitHub” link on each page in our docs.

This simple change in methodology opens ownership of the documentation’s accuracy to the technical experts within Redis Labs, as well as our customers and partners who are experiencing the product’s behavior every single day. Add that to the immediate delivery of approved contributions at [docs.redislabs.com](https://docs.redislabs.com), and we have dramatically improved our ability to provide up-to-the-moment and accurate documentation for our customers.
