Thanks for the link.

Having all these little titbits from different users in a discussion shows
the value of community :-)

In my idea world we'd have documentation inline with source (doxygen style)
linking with a two way link with general discussion/higher level
documentation so when is browsing the documentation one can jump between
the two seamlessly.  So for discussion could do something like mirror the
structure of the OSG as it stands:

  OpenSceneGraph/include/osg etc.
  OpenSceneGraoh/src/osg etc.
  OpenSceneGraph/doc/osg etc.

Then have a Cmake script generate the RST files and place them in the doc
directories.

We'd then want the hand written RST files to sit alongside these in some
manner.  Would the hand written ones sit alongside the automatically
generated ones or in a separate directory?  If you had them sitting
alongside each other then naming would be the way to different and just
have a naming convention that make it clear which is which.

Obviously one would check in the hand written RST files, but would you
check in the automatically generated ones as well?  Currently we don't
check in the doxygen generated docs.  If one wanted to have RTD generate
the HTML docs then one would need both together at the same time.

Thoughts everyone?

Robert.
