Scribes learn and document. Scribes are heavily encouraged to talk to other members of their team to fill in gaps in their understanding. Whether documenting a project the Development Team is working on, or writing for the R&G team, Scribes should try to write as Accessibly as possible. Of course, developer guides will inherently be a bit more technical, but they should aim to not make things any more technical than it has to be.

Engineers focus primarily on software itself. When implementing user-facing components, aim to follow guidelines we have already written! If nothing exists however, this is something to bring up with your team! Engineers are also very useful for research, as they will be able to understand why something is the way it is, in a way that those who cannot read code will not be able to.
