Documentation

9 Documentation

I would like to have a (short) discussion about the documentation of quattor. Maybe give a small update on what is done and where we are going. There are also some issues I would like to address: *discrepancy is locations:* - in configuration-modules-core most modules have a separate pod file. Some have inline documentation. - CAF, CCM, ... have inline documentation which is moved to pod by maven - maven-tools has inline documentation but this is not moved to pod *configuration modules core:* - a lot of "see also" with dead or broken links - mentioning of versions which don't mean anything anymore - references to bugs (none known), dependencies (none known), etc in pod files. - references to people. - unit tests for pod validation are run on the pm files, not the pod files. ... This list is not exhaustive, but I'll prepare some slides containing all of them.

Speaker: Wouter Depypere (Ugent)
