The documentation for Fossil itself is managed as embedded documentation<http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/embeddeddoc.wiki>. That means that all of the documentation is versioned, and so you can go back and look at the documentation for any point in time. To change the Fossil documentation, we edit the files in the www/ subdirectory<http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/dir?ci=fb48371c74d11834&name=www>of the source tree and check them in. The SQLite project (for which Fossil was originally created) manages documentation in a separate repository<http://www.sqlite.org/docsrc/timeline>from the SQLite sources. The SQLite documentation is HTML with embedded TCL script. We preprocess that using a makefile and tclsh to generate the pure HTML files that are then pushed out to the website. > Historically, I've kept most of this stuff in text and word files, > spreadsheets, and on paper - but now looking at a project that is going to > turn into an online service, and want to keep all the documentation and > administrivia under control from the start. > > Seems like the wiki and ticketing systems are a nice start, but fairly > basic.
