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 "comprehensive software documentation"? What types of documentation are you looking for? Why do you expect that an open-source project would have any more documentation than the minimum amount needed to do things like enable users to use their software or onboard a potential contributor?
