About the documentation project
We decided to open the documentation process to our community. To us this is a natural consequence from all the positive experience we made during the last years.
We know,
- writing good documentation is essential for both our users & developers
- constant feedback helps improving so please feel free and discuss our articles or file requests for new ones
- some of you have very profound knowledge of BaseX and its infrastructure. You are very welcome to contribute Articles & Edits.
