What does the Nepenthes documentation entail?
The Nepenthes documentation makes available user guides, system admin, installation and operation, API as well as development guides and release notes.
Current and future users of the application find instructions for the set up and configuration of Nepenthes in the documentation. Furthermore, it contains use cases and usage instructions for all Nepenthes features and the use of Nepenthes with other applications.
This documentation evolves continuously with new features and improvements to achieve clarity, accuracy, and completeness.
