documentation is not a tool or application, which will be used by other people. Instead it is my (joerg kunze) personel web site.
So this project is not intended to be downloaded and used by others. Nevertheless it is allowed. Perhaps someone uses it as a copy basis for her own site.
I treat my own site as a siliconBrain project, because there are some features, which I would like to have for a documentation project too: eneric make, automated test, automated release build with synchroneous cvs and publishing of the source code on my site.
This later reason is for beeing able to show others the idea of treating a documentation project in the same way as a programming project.
Additionally I use some scripts to deploy the edited html pages onto my web site. According to my new philosophy to use only one programming language and it is C, these scripts are not really scripts (like bash or perl) but they are C-programs, which have to be compiled. And for those compiles I want to profit from the siliconBrain development environment.
A final reason is the equivalence of programs and documents: an html page is nothing more than a program for a rendering engine written in a special script language (a DSL (Domain Specific Language)). My future plan is to write documents in C and no longer in html or texinfo (but they will be similar to texinfo files; see for example the formatedPrint.main.lex in siliconBrainLib).
Then I need a full programming build environment to maintain the C-written documents.
