Okay, I think this is done. You can still see the current result here: http://couchdb.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html I've tested the html and texinfo targets so far, both seem to be fine. I've also left a TODO.txt for everyone who'd like to help out improving the docs and just needs a little nudge in the right direction. I have not removed the DocBook-based docs yet, since they are used in the build system and I didn't feel like messing with Noah's baby. ;) (Also, listing each and every HTML file seems incredibly tedious.) You can get the good stuff from https://github.com/djco/couchdb/tree/docs. I'm not sure whether it should be merged to master first, then included with the build system, or the other way around. Basic workflow is this: - Install docutils, pygments and sphinx via your system package manager, easy_install or pip - Go to share/sphinx-docs - Edit any .rst files - make html - Lather, rinse, repeat Helpful docs for those new to dealing with reST/Sphinx: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickstart.html http://sphinx.pocoo.org/rest.html Also, I'm going on vacation for a bit. I'll be around a little bit this weekend if there's anything you need from me, then I'll be gone for a week without network. Cheers, Dirkjan
