New Contributors & Documentation Style Guide



Hello,

I am going through the following wiki page:
https://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/Contributing

I can see that under "Read the GNOME Documentation Style Guide", there
is a note explaining that the GNOME Documentation Style Guide is
outdated but still should be a worthwhile study for beginners.

I asked on IRC and shaunm said that it would be better to ignore the GDP
style guide since "it doesn't even remotely reflect our current style".

The GNOME Documentation Style Guide is long and new contributors
following the wiki page would be spending many hours reading the
outdated style guide. What do you think? Should the wiki page continue
refering to the GNOME Documentation Style Guide or should we make it
less of a requirement to read it?

Also, is there something else to replace the outddated GNOME
Documentation Style Guide in the works?

Thanks for the replies in advance,

Bastian
