Our current d.o documentation is maintained by angels: highly altruistic people who give without expecting to receive much. We love our angels, but this is not how it's supposed to be, documentation is just as important if not more than code.

In this BoF we'll explore how we could make documentation modular and reusable so that every single page of documentation you write for a project in the future becomes a potential source for reusable, contributable documentation on drupal.org.

I'll give an intro to the work we've done integrating DITA, an open standard for single sourced documentation into Drupal and discuss some of the results of our documentation survey. Than I want to open the floor to discuss a battle plan, be it short or long term for getting this done.
