||||||
|
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 |
||||||
|

### 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. |
