• The DM Developer Guide, which provides information for project members on procedures, expectations, and how to get their work done.
• The Documentation Hub, which provides an index of technical and management documentation covering all aspects of the DM system.
• Software User Guides, which provide tutorial and reference documentation on DM software products, including:
  • LSST Science Pipelines
  • LSST Science Platform Notebook Aspect
  • astro_metadata_translator
