• glob
• rand

Current opened issues

For now, here are the two big issues opened for Rust documentation:

• The Standard Library Documentation Checklist
• Add error explanations for all error codes

They both need help to move forward so any contribution is very welcome!

There are currently around 50 other documentation issues opened. Look for A-docs tagged issues on github!

Call for participation

There’s now a call for participation to display all methods of a type, even those from implicit traits. This is a great way to help users find everything that a type can do. Any help on it would be very appreciated!
