@feldergast @gvoskuilen We discussed in a meeting ~2 weeks ago a preference to not have local documentation and instead stick to

  • public code documentation in Doxygen and
  • "fully formalized" code and design documentation in http://sst-simulator.org/sst-docs/.

What do you think? Both the website and this "local" documentation have a roughly equivalent risk of being out-of-date relative to the code, and putting this in Doxygen is better in that regard. Injecting Doxygen into sst-docs, which would be more readable, might not be easy.

@berquist - @feldergast explained to me in June that README files in the git repo aren't visible to users of SST who don't read source.

Therefore @feldergast is enabling an extended --help

I asked @feldergast whether we could put a README in the respective source directories that say "look at the respective extended --help"? @feldergast said yes to that.
