Docs gathering, brief summary

A highly productive couple of days discussion free software online video documentation was had at Dekspace in Deptford, London May 22/23.

Key amongst the discussions was the development and implementation of FLOSS Manuals and Suitecase Manuals as engines to develop a modular documentation repository. The idea being that custom methods could be built by pulling in xml outputs from various modules that were then annotatable and also skinnable. This would allow a central, version controlled repository to exist whilst allowing projects to customise the documentation to their own needs. As such everyone collaborates to create documentation but uses their own format to display it.

A very fruitful couple of days with hopefully some interesting outputs to come.
