![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 |

### 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. |
