'''As developers we are also responsible for ducumentation. Please let's try the following conventions:
* document your code
* use the specific documentation tools of the domain
* use POD for documenting Perl module
* use perlmodule Pod::Usage for documenting perl-scripts
* each script needs a usage message (see above)
* [[O2DBIWiki|O2DBI]]-documentation (will create POD-doku for server classes)
'''

The other main source is the perldoc documentation. The generated [[O2DBIWiki|O2DBI]]-servermodules are pod documented. You can read them with:
<pre><nowiki>
perldoc module.pm
</nowiki></pre>
 
Other modules may also have pod-documetation but this is not guaranteed. The documentation found can also be incomplete or rather outdated. If you wish to generate the documentation for all perl modules you can do so be executing the shell script:
 
<pre><nowiki>
CVS/bioinfo/igetdb/share/exec/create_html_docs.pl
</nowiki></pre>
 
It generates an HTML version of the perldoc documentation in the directory 'CVS/bioinfo/igetdb/share/doc/html'.
 
Additional documentation can be found in CVS/bioinfo/igetdb/share/doc.

To run a script in share exec type: `igetdb_start scriptname.pl -p project [options]`

*** `/IGetDB` contains perl code

** `/images' the images used for the web front-end
* `/log' contains logging files of the apache web server
* `/src` contains the database schema and code for generation of code and documentation

API Documentation

The API documentation of IGetDB is not checked in as this causes more trouble then it's worth. To generate your own copy of the API documentation, simply run ant doc in igetdb directory.
