# Community

## Get involved

As a Zenzic user, you are in good company. Whether you're linting documentation
for a software project, managing a knowledge base, or producing other forms of
static site content, many others share your interests and are ready to help you
make the most of Zenzic.

Our growing team at PythonWoods is building robust Open Source software tailored
to a wide range of use cases. Like every other Open Source project, we rely on
contributions from our community to better understand unmet needs and identify
any issues users encounter.

## How to contribute

As Open Source software, Zenzic benefits from different kinds of contributions
from the community of its users. Our open approach allows you to:

## Citing Zenzic

If you use Zenzic in your research, documentation pipelines, or technical reports and would
like to cite it formally, a [`CITATION.cff`][citation-cff] file is present at the root of
the repository. Most research tools (GitHub, Zenodo, Zotero) can read this format directly.

__GitHub__: click the __"Cite this repository"__ button on the [repository page][repo] —
GitHub automatically renders the `CITATION.cff` into APA and BibTeX.

__Manual BibTeX:__

```text
@software{zenzic,
  author  = {PythonWoods},
  title   = {{Zenzic: The Agnostic Documentation Integrity Framework}},
  version = {0.5.0a2},
  date    = {2026-04-03},
  url     = {https://zenzic.pythonwoods.dev/},
  license = {Apache-2.0},
}
```
