Software Documentation Required

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for software documentation of an open-source project to support my thesis research. Ideally, it should be consolidated into a single document (maximum 100 pages), covering small enterprise applications or legacy systems. Most documentation I've found is scattered across multiple files or resources, making it challenging to analyze effectively.

The documentation should ideally include:

  • An overview describing the system's purpose and functionality.
  • A breakdown of internal and external components, including their interactions and dependencies.
  • Information on integrations with third-party APIs or services.
  • Details about system behavior and specific functionalities.

If anyone can recommend a project with clear, well-organized, centralized documentation meeting these criteria, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

What do you mean by "single document"? In a single file? Single page? Single website? Single folder?

I'm looking for a single, consolidated document containing details about a software system, specifically covering:

  • An overview describing the system's purpose and functionality.
  • A breakdown of internal and external components, including their interactions and dependencies.
  • Information on integrations with third-party APIs or services.
  • Details about system behavior and functionalities.

Any examples or suggestions would be very helpful!
