Maintaining accurate and comprehensive documentation in open source projects is challenging due to the constant changes and updates. Contributors often focus on code rather than documentation, leading to outdated or incomplete information. To overcome this, project leads can enforce a policy where code contributions must be accompanied by corresponding documentation updates. Additionally, automating documentation where possible, such as API documentation generated from source code, can help maintain accuracy.
