  • Documentation and tutorial strategy
    • Conrad will work on this after "putting RBVI bundles on toolshed"
    • Bundle-specific documentation should be placed into docs directory in package
    • Very rough proposal (Conrad)
      • Move all documentation into bundle docs directories
      • Change top-level docs directory to:
        • developer (manually edited docs)
        • user
          • non-bundle (manually edited docs, e.g., tutorials, indices, intro, etc.)
          • bundle (generated symlinks to bundle docs directories )
            • easier (web) access when editing
            • provide Makefile for git management, e.g., commit changes
      • ChimeraX documentation web pages on plato get updated as part of releasing a bundle
        • What about developer versions?
        • What about core documentation? Is core a bundle on toolshed? Can it really be updated through the toolshed?
