- Do not duplicate documentation. Duplicating documentation is almost always a bad idea. There are many reasons for this. The main one is that almost all documentation has to be updated at some point. When similar documentation appears in more than one place, it is very easy for it to get updated in one place but not the others (perhaps because the person updating it doesn’t realize it’s in more than one place). Such traps are often more harmful than if the documentation never existed in the first place. The solution is to link to existing documentation rather than duplicating it. There are some exceptions to this policy (e.g., information that is certain not to change for a very long time), but they are rare. - Do not duplicate documentation.

- We maintain only one set of documentation for MISP. We do not maintain a different set of documentation for each version of MISP. Our single set of MISP documentation is updated on a continual, rolling basis. Our first priority is to document all current, stable releases of MISP. Our second priority is to document the next, upcoming release (if any) that is currently in the beta or release candidate stage. - We maintain only one set of documentation for MISP.
