HPX
https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx
HPX is a distributed C++ library for concurrency and parallelism. It implements APIs defined in the C++ Standard Library and extends them to work in a distributed memory space. In this way HPX exposes a unified programing model which transparently utilizes available resources. Our work is closely aligned with the C++ Standard and the ongoing C++ standardization process.

What previous experience has your organization had in documentation or collaborating with technical writers?
Our organization has experience in writing documentation for HPX. We have documentation for the API, for Developers, and some Quickstart for using HPX. However, the documentation was written by our open source contributors and none of them has any professional experience in technical writing. We got feedback, mostly via GitHub issues, from users and tried to improve the documentation using their user experience. We never had the chance to collaborate with professional technical writers, since none of them joined our open source community and we never had funding to hire them.
Our organization was selected for Google Summer of Code five times and we mentored around 25 students. In addition, some of our organization members work in academia and have plenty of experience supervising/mentoring undergraduate and graduate students.
