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. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/attachments/light-meter-logo.png b/attachments/light-meter-logo.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ae06299 Binary files /dev/null and b/attachments/light-meter-logo.png differ diff --git a/attachments/main-proj-architecture.png b/attachments/main-proj-architecture.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2bd3b31 Binary files /dev/null and b/attachments/main-proj-architecture.png differ diff --git a/attachments/midpoint-logo.png b/attachments/midpoint-logo.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e0a8862 Binary files /dev/null and b/attachments/midpoint-logo.png differ diff --git a/attachments/relay-logo.png b/attachments/relay-logo.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..af32da7 Binary files /dev/null and b/attachments/relay-logo.png differ diff --git a/attachments/return-to-ritherdon-project-overview.png b/attachments/return-to-ritherdon-project-overview.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e22e2b7 Binary files /dev/null and b/attachments/return-to-ritherdon-project-overview.png differ diff --git a/attachments/rtrp-logo.png b/attachments/rtrp-logo.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..149e914 Binary files /dev/null and b/attachments/rtrp-logo.png differ
