Data Provider and links to external data

Hi

There is no documentation for the Data provider
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.2/en-US/text/scalc/01/data_provider.html (https://link.getmailspring.com/link/A6624D0F-E397-430E-9E0E-99696A24FD19@getmailspring.com/0?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fhelp.libreoffice.org%2F6.2%2Fen-US%2Ftext%2Fscalc%2F01%2Fdata_provider.html&recipient=ZG9jdW1lbnRhdGlvbkBnbG9iYWwubGlicmVvZmZpY2Uub3Jn)
Also it'd be useful if the differences between database connects, links ti external sheets et could be better documented and the differences explained.
I'm willing to help with docs, testing and bug filing as I'm interested in this area.
Is there a way I can reach out to the devs responsible and then get something going?

It is a good idea to first create a bug report with product LibreOffice and component Documentation: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport
