Both contain this sentence:

> Each project in a workspace can include their own dependencies, compatibility information, and even function as full packages.

This is the conjunction of the three sentences:

> Each project in a workspace can include their own dependencies as full packages.  
> Each project in a workspace can include their own compatibility information as full packages.  
> Each project in a workspace can include even their own function as full packages.

where “function” is a noun. However, I suspect that “function” is intended to be a verb, in which case the correct wording is:

> Each project in a workspace can include their own dependencies and compatibility information[,] and [can] even function as full packages.

I’m not sure if the comma and “can” are required for clarity, so I put them in brackets.

Another fault, which doesn’t produce a misunderstanding, is that “each” is singular, so it should include its own dependencies (unless you allow singular “they” there) and function as a full package.

Sure, those could both be helpful improvements to make. Both are backed by open source git repos; you can directly help edit them!
