 # Puppet Docs
 
-Curated documentation and issue tracker for Puppet.
+Curated documentation and issue tracker for Puppet
 
 ## Where is everything?
 
 Most of our documentation has been moved out of this repository. This repo contains:
   * Some of our older, unmaintained documentation, which is deprecated and may be removed from this repo without further notice. For archived docs for unmaintained, unsupported versions of Puppet, see the [Puppet docs archive](https://github.com/puppetlabs/docs-archive).
   * Reference documentation generated from code. This reference documentation is then rendered into HTML and included in the Puppet docs website.
-  * The issue tracker allowing you to suggest improvements to puppet.com/docs
+  * The issue tracker, which community members can use to suggest improvements to puppet.com/docs.
 
 As of Puppet 5.5, Puppet docs were migrated into the DITA XML format and have been maintained in a CMS. We removed each migrated page from this repository, so that the old content wasn't accidentally published.
 
 As of Facter 3.12, the Facter docs were migrated to DITA and organized as part of the Puppet doc set. Updates to 3.12 (and later) should be made in DITA, not in this repo. The generated `core_facts.md` file is still this repository, but has moved to the `puppet/x.y` folder instead of `facter/x.y`.
