What to Document

  • Who wrote the code, so proper credit can be given when credit is due, and so others know who to ask for advice when adapting it in the future;
  • When it was written;
  • What the code accomplishes;
  • Where the code fits into the overall architecture of the application;
  • How the code is used, providing an example if possible, or at least an explanation of the parameters the code expects to use and variables it alters;
  • Why design decisions were made or another existing routine was not used.

Additionally

  • What still needs to be done; (TODO) tag)
  • What is really important to be done. (FIXME tag)
