|
|
description:
|
|
- You can see our high level concepts & you can inspect our code. But nothing in between.
|
|
- Fill that gap by providing proper documentation of the Portmaster. What does each component do? With what other components does it interact? Where is its code located?

|
text: "Deep technical knowledge, that can only come from Patrick or Daniel, has been the bottleneck for this project. And with all the recent focus on Portmaster development it was hard to sit together and talk about documentation - there was just always something more important. The solution to this was to adapt our overall structures. Starting in January, certain time slots are booked solely for 'content creation', such as documentation."
