We showed that the The investment in time to define properties and sections is rather small and the benefits are automatic lists and the ability to support modular documentation using transclusion. Furthermore most of the time effort is spent once by the template author on design time.

The investment in time to learn projectdoc, especially the to learn about macros involved to render automatic lists and use transclusion, is probably much larger. Fortunately this is also a one-time investment.

What you gain:

1. Automatic lists of matching documents - making navigation and maintenance much easier
2. Support for modular documentation based on transclusion - making collaboration and reuse much easier

We think the reward is larger than the investment. Do you agree?
