Papermerge is an open source document management system (DMS) primarily designed for archiving and retrieving your digital documents. Instead of having piles of paper documents all over your desk, office or drawers - you can quickly scan them and configure your scanner to directly upload to Papermerge DMS. Store, organize and index scanned documents in PDF, JPEG and TIFF formats. Instantly find relevant information using full text, tags and metadata-based search. Papermerge is free and open-source software which means that transparency is the core value of our software development. Source code can be reviewed and improved by anyone from anywhere. Papermerge supports multiple users. Each user can be assigned different permissions to perform only a specific kind of action e.g. view only documents from a specific folder. OCR technology is vital part of Papermerge. It extracts text information from scanned documents, PDF, JPEG, TIFF files.

Sphinx is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and beautiful documentation, written by Georg Brandl and licensed under the BSD license. It was originally created for the Python documentation, and it has excellent facilities for the documentation of software projects in a range of languages. Of course, this site is also created from reStructuredText sources using Sphinx! HTML (including Windows HTML Help), LaTeX (for printable PDF versions), ePub, Texinfo, manual pages, plain text. Semantic markup and automatic links for functions, classes, citations, glossary terms and similar pieces of information. Easy definition of a document tree, with automatic links to siblings, parents and children. General index as well as a language-specific module index. Automatic highlighting using the Pygments highlighter. Automatic testing of code snippets, the inclusion of docstrings from Python modules (API docs), and more.

Each larger open source project has its own style guide, a series of conventions on how to write code for the project (sometimes more arbitrary). When all the code maintains a consistent style, it is more important when understanding large code bases. easy. The meaning of "style" covers a wide range, from "variables use camelCase" to "never use global variables" to "never use exceptions". The English version of the project maintains the programming style guidelines used in Google. If the project you are modifying originates from Google, you may be directed to the English version of the project page to understand the style used by the project. The Chinese version of the project uses reStructuredText plain text markup syntax, and uses Sphinx to generate document formats such as HTML / CHM / PDF.

MkDocs is a fast, simple and downright gorgeous static site generator that's geared towards building project documentation. Documentation source files are written in Markdown, and configured with a single YAML configuration file. Start by reading the introductory tutorial, then check the User Guide for more information. There's a stack of good-looking themes available for MkDocs. Choose between the built in themes: mkdocs and readthedocs, select one of the third-party themes listed on the MkDocs Themes wiki page, or build your own. Get your project documentation looking just the way you want it by customizing your theme and/or installing some plugins. Modify Markdown's behavior with Markdown extensions. Many configuration options are available. The built-in dev-server allows you to preview your documentation as you're writing it. It will even auto-reload and refresh your browser whenever you save your changes.

nginx-admins-handbook is a practical, in-depth guide for configuring, securing, and operating NGINX across real-world deployments. It distills years of research, notes, and field experience into a single handbook that complements the official docs with concrete rules, explanations, and curated external references. The handbook spans fundamentals and advanced topics alike, from HTTP and SSL/TLS basics to reverse proxy patterns, performance tuning, debugging workflows, and hardening strategies. A centerpiece is its prioritized checklist of 79 rules, grouped by criticality, helping readers focus on what most impacts security, reliability, and speed. Instead of copy-paste snippets in isolation, it emphasizes understanding trade-offs, avoiding common pitfalls, and balancing security with usability. Designed for system administrators and web application engineers, it aims to be a living companion that encourages experimentation, measurement, and continuous improvement of NGINX configurations
