Documentation Flow Review¶
Status: Living Document
Overview¶
This document defines the recommended evolution of the Nivron documentation platform.
Rather than treating documentation as isolated pages, the project adopts a structured learning journey that progressively introduces concepts, architecture, implementation and operational guidance.
Current Assessment¶
The documentation platform already provides a strong visual identity and a consistent documentation experience.
Current maturity:
| Section | Status |
|---|---|
| Home | Implemented |
| Getting Started | Mature |
| Architecture | Mature |
| Platform | Planned |
| Administration | Initial |
| Development | Initial |
| Reference | Growing |
The remaining sections should evolve together with the platform implementation.

Documentation Priorities¶
| Priority | Goal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Complete the Getting Started experience. |
| 2 | Build Architecture and Platform together. |
| 3 | Expand Administration from implemented capabilities. |
| 4 | Expand Development using established engineering practices. |
| 5 | Grow Reference as the authoritative technical source. |
Definition of Done¶
A documentation page is considered complete when it contains:
- Clear purpose.
- Problem statement or concept.
- One primary architectural idea.
- Diagrams only when they improve understanding.
- Operational workflow when applicable.
- Practical examples.
- Related topics.
- Explicit next step.
- Mobile and desktop validation.
- Links to authoritative implementation or reference material.
Documentation is complete only when it accurately reflects the implemented platform.
Governance Principles¶
- Documentation evolves together with implementation.
- Every feature should include documentation before completion.
- Architecture pages describe concepts.
- Reference pages describe implementation.
- Documentation should remain version-controlled and reviewable.
