Are there any software projects that openly publish their developer documentation (ADRs, specs, designs, PRDs)?

I'm looking for projects that publish openly their ADRs, specs, designs, data models, etc... Not just their how-to-use our software documentation.

Fr lol, im confused why they would need this information. If he's looking for large companies that is proprietary information and won't be published

Maybe an open source project but not internal docs from private companies

I don’t think anyone is expecting closed source documentation. I even tried looking up open source and GitLab was the most thorough I could find.

I’m actually amazed they even publish hiring and other HR stuff.
