# Meeting Notes: Documentation Toolchain Implementation

## Date: 2025-11-05
## Attendees: Charles Wyble, Jane Smith, John Doe
## Topic: Documentation Toolchain Setup

### Agenda
1. Review current documentation challenges
2. Discuss proposed toolchain solutions
3. Plan implementation timeline

### Current Challenges
- Inconsistent documentation formats across projects
- Lack of automated generation tools
- Poor integration with CI/CD pipelines
- Difficult to maintain multiple document versions

### Proposed Solutions
- Implement standardized documentation toolchain using pandoc, mdbook, and typst
- Containerize all tools for consistent environments
- Integrate with existing CI/CD systems
- Create templates for common document types

### Toolchain Decisions
- **Primary Format**: Markdown for source documents
- **Conversion Tools**: 
  - pandoc - for general conversions (Markdown to PDF/HTML/Docx)
  - mdbook - for book-style documentation
  - typst - for academic-style documents
  - quarto - for data-driven documents
- **Styling**: LaTeX templates for PDF output

### Implementation Timeline
- **Week 1**: Environment setup with Docker
- **Week 2**: Template development
- **Week 3**: Integration with CI/CD
- **Week 4**: Testing and validation
- **Week 5**: Deployment and documentation

### Action Items
- [ ] Jane: Research pandoc LaTeX templates
- [ ] John: Create Dockerfile for toolchain
- [ ] Charles: Define security requirements
- [ ] All: Review and test prototype by EOW
