Notes from the March ‘24 FroGS conf open space
Yesterday Elizabeth Zagroba, Huib Schoots, Sanne Visser and I ran another FroGS conf online open space. There were plenty of great sessions, below are some notes from the five sessions I participated in. Thank you to everyone who was there, I had a great time!

From notes to shared documentation culture
- Co-creation works for code. In what ways is co-creation for documentation different?
- Why do we talk about “an audience” for documentation, instead of about “the contributors”?
- The purpose of documentation flips from “what we build” to “what we built”.
- Old research paper on documentation: only documentation with lasting usefulness is architecture and test cases. Everything else is just notes.
- Documentation heuristic: Is it easier/faster to reverse engineer it instead?
