Complete reorganization of project documentation to improve discoverability, navigation, and maintainability. All documentation has been restructured into a clear, role-based hierarchy. ## Major Changes ### New Directory Structure - Created `docs/api/` for API documentation - Created `docs/admin/` with subdirectories: - `admin/configuration/` - Configuration guides - `admin/deployment/` - Deployment guides - `admin/security/` - Security documentation - `admin/monitoring/` - Monitoring and analytics - Created `docs/development/` for developer documentation - Created `docs/guides/` for user-facing guides - Created `docs/reports/` for analysis reports and summaries - Created `docs/changelog/` for detailed changelog entries (ready for future use) ### File Organization #### Moved from Root Directory (40+ files) - Implementation notes → `docs/implementation-notes/` - Test reports → `docs/testing/` - Analysis reports → `docs/reports/` - User guides → `docs/guides/` #### Reorganized within docs/ - API documentation → `docs/api/` - Administrator documentation → `docs/admin/` (with subdirectories) - Developer documentation → `docs/development/` - Security documentation → `docs/admin/security/` - Telemetry documentation → `docs/admin/monitoring/` ### Documentation Updates #### docs/README.md - Complete rewrite with improved navigation - Added visual documentation map - Organized by role (Users, Administrators, Developers) - Better categorization and quick links - Updated all internal links to new structure #### README.md (root) - Updated all documentation links to reflect new structure - Fixed 8 broken links #### app/templates/main/help.html - Enhanced "Where can I get additional help?" section - Added links to new documentation structure - Added documentation index link - Added admin documentation link for administrators - Improved footer with organized documentation links - Added "Complete Documentation" section with role-based links ### New Index Files - Created README.md files for all new directories: - `docs/api/README.md` - `docs/guides/README.md` - `docs/reports/README.md` - `docs/development/README.md` - `docs/admin/README.md` ### Cleanup - Removed empty `docs/security/` directory (moved to `admin/security/`) - Removed empty `docs/telemetry/` directory (moved to `admin/monitoring/`) - Root directory now only contains: README.md, CHANGELOG.md, LICENSE ## Results **Before:** - 45+ markdown files cluttering root directory - Documentation scattered across root and docs/ - Difficult to find relevant documentation - No clear organization structure **After:** - 3 files in root directory (README, CHANGELOG, LICENSE) - Clear directory structure organized by purpose and audience - Easy navigation with role-based organization - All documentation properly categorized - Improved discoverability ## Benefits 1. Better Organization - Documentation grouped by purpose and audience 2. Easier Navigation - Role-based sections (Users, Admins, Developers) 3. Improved Discoverability - Clear structure with README files in each directory 4. Cleaner Root - Only essential files at project root 5. Maintainability - Easier to add and organize new documentation ## Files Changed - 40+ files moved from root to appropriate docs/ subdirectories - 15+ files reorganized within docs/ - 3 major documentation files updated (docs/README.md, README.md, help.html) - 5 new README index files created - 2 empty directories removed All internal links have been updated to reflect the new structure.
