This is a basic overview of the Return to Ritherdon project as a whole
and a breakdown of each project within this particular project
within Return to Ritherdon. (That makes no sense but it's the best I
can do right now.)

## Overview of Return to Ritherdon Docs (rtr-docs)
This repository houses the documentation for the, at the time of
writing, *unnamed project* which is one project within the much bigger
**Return to Ritherdon** project . The contents of the *unnamed
project* consists of four smaller projects which are:
- [Light
Meter](https://git.abbether.net/return-to-ritherdon/light-meter)
- [Relay](https://git.abbether.net/return-to-ritherdon/relay)
- [Midpoint](https://git.abbether.net/return-to-ritherdon/relay)
- [Eyes and
Ears](https://git.abbether.net/return-to-ritherdon/eyes-and-ears)
![Main Project Overview](attachments/return-to-ritherdon-project-overview.png)
As you can see, 'Artwork 1' is what this repository is for, which is
just one artwork/project within the much bigger 'Return to Ritherdon'
project. Within 'Artwork 1' is three smaller projects (listed and
linked above). Below is a quick summary of how the three projects
operate. (Please refer to the doc. files within this repo. for more
in-depth breakdowns of how this all works.)

### Goals of This Repository
The intention with this repository is to create a place which tracks
all the documentation changes across the *unnamed* project in one
place. This should help people whom are not exposed to the project in
any sustained way have a single place they can go to for information
about the projects within *unnamed*. With that said, **the
documentation hosted here is for technicians and 'back of house'
staff**. The content within this repository does not prioritise
general public use.
You can read the documentation in this repository in two ways:
1. read the raw markdown (.md) files within the project folders in
this repository, or;
2. download a 'Released' version and read that (as a .pdf).
Documentation repository for the various Return to Ritherdon projects.
