I am curious what you all do for documenting your sites.
I've been in the process of setting up four different instances of DNN. Two are pretty simple and the other two are fairly complex (custom modules, sub-portals, etc). As I move forward I will probably add new sites, upgrade these with new versions, etc. and I would like to be able to maintain some consistent and usefull documentation on the sites.
I started preparing word documents as templates but it's occured to me that I'll run into several problems in the long term. First, if I want to add something new I will need to add it X times across X number of documents for each site. Plus I'm doing a serious duplication of effort (I change something in the DNN site, then I have to go to the documentation and update what I did).
So the next logical extension would be to build a database driven app, perhaps using Access. On one hand I could maintain multiple site information in one resource. If I add a new field in a table/form it would then show up for all sites. Plus if I allow it to connect to the principal DNN DB, I can write code that will automate dumping site data so after I made changes in the DNN site and am satisfied, I can automatically update my documentation with the click of a button. I can also have other entries for notes, backup documentation, planned enhancements, how much modules cost, etc. As well as creating nice reports.
If something like the above exists already, then I'd be interested in hearing more. Otherwise I may end up coding something up.
