Read the Docs


Read the Docs is an open sourced free software documentation hosting platform. It generates documentation written with the Sphinx documentation generator. The site was created in 2010 by Eric Holscher, Bobby Grace, and Charles Leifer.
On March 9, 2011 the Python Software Foundation Board awarded a grant of US$840 to the Read the Docs project for one year of hosting fees. On November 13, 2017 the Linux Mint project announced that they were moving their documentation to Read the Docs.
Write the Docs, a direct descendant of the Read the Docs project, was created as a conference for Read the Docs users, but has turned into a generic software documentation community.
