Ok, this may be a silly question, but I would really like to know your
opinions on how you handle project documentation workflow.

* What artifacts/tools and or file formats do you use to document your
project?

- I've got a personal journal where I keep several random thoughts on a
day-to-day basis. Ok, this is not intrinsically related to the project, but
random project annotations eventually go there.

- I've got a Enterprise Architect 6 Desktop Edition. I know enough of UML to
draw class, sequence and state diagrams. However, this tool has more
features than I need, and I feel this overwhelms-me... but I'm trying to
figure out the best way I could use it to document my application.

- I also use MindManager. MindMaps have been kind of useful to me some time
ago to visualize complex infomation, so, I thought I could use it to somehow
document aspects of the project or organize the documentation... it's not
clear yet...

- Also, I have a simple GTD system implemented on papers and physical
containers. This helps me keeping track of next actions and other projects I
have. Part of this sytem is implemented on my personal journal (the
in-basket, and random-thoughts that are later processed into projects and
actions).

My project and all the files related (including the documentation) is stored
on a SVN repository. I've created a bath script which copies a rar file
backup of the SVN rep.

The fact that I'm using SVN made me think of using plain text files for
documentation format.. however, I'm not sure here too.. :/

Any thoughts would be really apreaciated!

Marcelo.
