grommunio strives for precise documentation underlying the standards and protocols grommunio builds upon, since these are the foundation for stable communication and functionality. We at grommunio also regularly fix incorrect portions of Microsofts‘ own documentation. Here is an example: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/office-developer-client-docs/pull/613/commits/09c4ada5114d8e2d9f65ce29a25f40a6fc6c2278

In this spirit, we have published the grommunio-Documentation on GitHub, available for contributions from any source to make the documentation of grommunio as good as possible.
