Sphinx was mentioned.
I sent some updates on the list yesterday. Adding that here for the record: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/docs/message/167
I have moved my initial patches into a yocto-docs tree branch instead of poky: http://git.linaro.org/people/nicolas.dechesne/yocto-docs.git/log/?h=sphinx I will keep experimenting with various sphinx features.
I have summarized all the various discussions/work on this topic here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Sphinx
I think this is underway. can we close this now?
