Dear Colleagues, we are looking at the cctbx documentation. Currently the world is directed to the documentation on the Sourceforge site, which hasn’t been updated for a long time and is looking somewhat old. Last year, Oliver and Ian (and others) worked on Sphinx-based documentation for cctbx (the last published version of which can be found here: http://cci.lbl.gov/cctbx_docs/). The question for the cctbx developer community therefore is whether we should move over to the Sphinx system for cctbx documentation. The benefits are: a more consistent and modern interface, and automated documentation generation from source code header file information. As part of making this move we would need to integrate some of the additional information from the original cctbx site into the Sphinx documentation. We would also move the hosting of the cctbx documentation to the CCI web server in Berkeley (and off the Sourceforge site). Another email related to that topic soon. I’d appreciate any feedback on this topic.

Dear Paul, We are currently already generating Sphinx documentation for xia2 and dials using our buildserver. The pages are then pushed to (and served from) github repositories, ie. https://xia2.github.io and https://dials.github.io. Using the same setup for cctbx would be trivial. In fact, I've just added it to the list, and the automatically built documentation is now available at https://cctbx.github.io Hosting the documentation itself in a git repository would have the advantage that it can be easily mirrored to other webservers and, with a bit of digging, one can get to the documentation of historic versions. (If you do not like this idea, the page can be removed as quickly as it was created.) Best wishes, -Markus -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Adams Sent: 11 October 2015 21:28 To: [email protected] Subject: [cctbxbb] cctbx documentation Dear Colleagues, we are looking at the cctbx documentation.
