### Documentation
You can contribute documentation in two different ways. One way is to create an issue [here](https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/new), prepending "Documentation:" to the title of the issue. Another way is by pull request, which is the same process as [Contribute Code](https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#contribute-code). All documentation resides in [`docs`](https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/tree/master/docs).

Please also include a reference to the issue in the description of the pull. This can be done by using '#' plus the issue number like so '#123', also try to pick an appropriate name for the branch in which you're issuing the pull request from.
