This document aims at describing the principle and guidelines to consider when writing Slicer user documentation.

The documentation framework has been designed keep keeping in mind the following principles:
* Keep documentation at the same place as the source code to make it possible to keep the documentation always in sync with the software implementation.
* Allow anyone to make changes or propose changes to the documentation.
* Follow common documentation conventions (formats, rendering tools, and services)
