Managing Documentation Complexity: SEAPATH's Approach to Wiki Refactoring


LF Energy SEAPATH is an open source, high-availability real-time platform designed for hosting virtualized protection and control applications within electrical substations. As a complex project bridging electrical and computer engineering, it integrates multiple open source tools and expertise from diverse domains. Following the recent release of version 1.0, the project undertook a refactoring of its documentation to improve clarity and accessibility for a growing community of users and contributors

This talk will present the documentation strategy for such a complex project, highlighting the challenges encountered and the solutions implemented. Key discussion points include:

  • Balancing documentation across multiple platforms: Ensure consistency and reduce redundancy between Confluence, GitHub, and Ansible Galaxy
  • Structuring the wiki: Organize the information for diverse audiences
  • Establishing clear naming conventions: A consistent terminology for pages, concepts, and components.
