Great work overall! It looks good.

Could you please just address my comments and push the changes? Thanks

These 3 linked repositories are owned by ThothTech and are the ones that you will fork to make your changes. When your changes are approved, they will be merged into these repositories and can later be merged upstream into the [doubtfire-lms](https://github.com/doubtfire-lms) series of repositories. The doubtfire-lms repositories contain all changes that have been accepted.

### Development Container
While working with the OnTrack system, we use a development container. This container includes all the previously listed repositories under one download, and enables you to easily run the OnTrack system. Details on how to set up and run the development container can be found in the [Doubtfire contributing guide](https://github.com/thoth-tech/doubtfire-deploy/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).

@JoshuaBourquin could you please change the contributing guide link to the development branch version instead of main

Then without closing the remote connection to the container, rebuild the container using the Command Palette command (ctrl / cmd + shift + p) ```Dev Containers: Rebuild Container```.

##### 2. Docker container related errors
Sometimes if you are having any weird Docker container related problems such as shown below, you might need to delete all **Containers, Images, and Volumes** related to **doubtfire-lms/formatif** from inside the **Docker app** and restart the **Docker Engine**.

This part needs to be changed. documentation is for internal docs, anything we can't release to the public like docs about new features we are working on. ThothTech-Documentation-Website is the external docs repo, anything we have that helps introduce new members into the company and products
