Documentation Strategy
Over the last year, the OpenLMIS Community has made major strides in terms of its documented activities and available resources. Several published resources are now available to the Community in the Resource Library on openlmis.org, and will be continue to be posted as they come available.
As the breadth of documentation grows, it is crucial to determine where different types of documentation should be located and saved. The table below details different categories of documentation, and where it should be posted on the various locations dedicated to storing OpenLMIS data and information.
