For a quick overview of the project, see the Guide to the HDM.
Extensive documentation of the HDM project now appears in HDM CVS; I’ve put copies online in my [http://www.ma.utexas.edu/~jcorneli/d/p4/ p4 directory]. There are about 100 pages there at present, mostly stuff about the scholium system and the parsing system.
Lots of things about this documentation can be improved: the narrative introduction to the project and the report, the coverage of other systems, the way the document is compiled out of smaller documents, and the individual articles - so, nearly everything. I needed to put something like this together in order to make the documentation truly GNU FDL compliant, a necessary step for getting the project hosted on [http://savannah.nongnu.org Savannah]. (We needed to have the FDL included in the document, so I figured, might as well make one big document out of the smaller pieces.) We should have Savannah hosting soon.
As time goes by, I expect this report to expand into something “book size”, and I expect the quality of the articles to converge to “publishable”. We’ll want to produce additional compilations and stand-alone reports, but for now, you can certainly feel free to stick things you write into this document.
Help is appreciated. (I’m going to be revising the scholium sections extensively asap!) –jcorneli
