Swagger Editor
An editor designed for Swagger
Swagger Editor lets you edit Swagger API specifications in YAML inside your browser and to preview documentations in real time. Valid Swagger JSON descriptions can then be generated and used with the full Swagger tooling (code generation, documentation, etc). swagger-editor is a traditional npm module intended for use in single-page applications that are capable of resolving dependencies (via Webpack, Browserify, etc). swagger-editor-dist is a dependency-free module that includes everything you need to serve Swagger Editor in a server-side project, or a web project that can't resolve npm module dependencies. If you're building a single-page application, using swagger-editor is strongly recommended, since swagger-editor-dist is significantly larger. -

Office Docs PowerShell
PowerShell Reference for Office Products
This repository aggregates documentation, examples, and cmdlet references for PowerShell modules that manage Microsoft 365 and Office services. It collects guidance for admins on tasks such as Exchange Online mail flow, SharePoint site provisioning, Teams configuration, and tenant-level policy settings—often including parameter examples, common scenarios, and troubleshooting notes. The docs are structured so operators can copy/paste ready examples into their automation scripts or adapt them for bulk changes using CSV-driven loops. Because cloud management frequently involves idempotent, auditable operations, the content emphasizes safe patterns (what changes will do, UI equivalents, and rollback hints). Versioning matters here: the repository tracks changes as Microsoft updates service APIs and cmdlets, helping teams stay current and avoid deprecated workflows. -

Woas (my wiki-on-a-stick fork)
Woas is a complete wiki in a single HTML file, forked from stickwiki.
NEW! Works with current IE, Firefox, and Chrome browsers. See the 'Loading & Saving' Woas page for details (in Woas file). Woas is a complete wiki in a single HTML file that works in every major browser, including older versions (even IE6!). It can store and display images and files within itself and is incredibly useful for research and documentation. This is my version of the WoaS (stickwiki) project. It is starting out as the home of my fixes to the 0.12.0 version that I am calling 0.13.0 (and hope will be published as such in the WoaS project), but may transition over time into a new and possibly incompatible version of the original tool, depending on what happens in the original project. I have dropped the 'Legacy' subproject; this project performs essentially the same function. After two years of inactivity it appears there may be life in the old project yet, so I am not making any decisions right now beyond using this project for my own, fixed version of WoaS 0.12.0. -
