Documentation tools documentation
I can not edit the Project Administration site.
Jacques has asked to have a note about Graphviz and the dot language.
I would suggest that we have a documentation tools page where we
identify the tools used to create diagrams, charts, UML models, E/R
diagrams.
This could be a single page with very short descriptions and links to
the download pages, documentation and tutorials and showcases for each
tool that we want people to use to create documentation.
It could also include contact information for volunteerss who are
willing to help others create new visual artifacts (I will help anyone
who wants to create a Graphviz image for the wiki.)

I am willing to look at converting to the internal tool, if there is
some documentation on it and I can find a way to use it.
How do I get started?

Hi Jacques
I think that if we already have an internal dedicated tool that we can use
for diagrams etc then it would be good to use it.
The issue that we had (and still have) is that some of the diagrams were
made using software that we dont have access to anymore so cant update them.
We didnt know about the internal tool and as a result Ron suggested some
possible open source tools we could use and updated a diagram using one of
them.
I will update the documentation roadmap to say that we recommend using the
internal tool.
Thanks
Sharan

So everyone is happy with an external tool when we have an internal dedicated tool for that?

Why not rather using Gliffy that we have available in Confluence http://www.gliffy.com/user-manual/?productId=1 ?
