Hello,
Recently, some developers wrote documentation about certain stuff related
to
ReactOS. But this documentation was only placed on their own web servers.
In my opinion, it would be better if such stuff would (also) be committed
to
the "documentation" directory in SVN. Having documentation there makes sure that it does not get lost. Additionally, if the source file is committed (not a PDF or something like that), another person could extend the documentation further. I agree that not all documentary stuff needs to be on SVN. An example
might
be Magnus' Win32k syscall tables. But for example Andrew Greenwood's documentation about the Windows Multimedia Subsystems looks like something, which should be committed in
my
opinion.
If you don't agree on committing this stuff, it would be nice if we could
at
least agree on an official document format, which should be used in the
SVN
tree.
From what I see, most documentations were created by using OpenOffice, so
I
think the OpenDocument Text format (ODT) would be a great choice. It is
also
supported by most word processors, thus most people should be able to open an ODT file. Up to now, I used RTF for formatted text documentations in SVN, but this format does not support things like shapes.
Regards,
Colin
