Keep documentation with the code, or in a central Wiki? -


my company custom software several companies. have dozens of small software projects (and larger ones), each own history, quirks , processes. document in instance of mediawiki), , has worked wonderfully. code documentation, on other hand, put code in source control. is, through comments, diagram files, etc., , readme file describes how set dev environment.

my problem this: wiki better plain text files or word processor docs higher level code , development documentation, bugs me it's not in source control system code. couldn't bring wiki me on plane, instance.

so , in format should keep code documentation?

i agree wiki documentation has many advantages. places have worked @ made attempt co-locate documentation in source control end not keeping documents alive , end stale information. wiki format find people keeping documents alive, way believe should be, seldom take time make sure of.

increasingly finding hard think of place can't internet service access wiki. wiki-away!
