 The thesis is composed of different texts: some provide context and critical background to situate the research, while others consist in experiments of actual documentation written for software developed within our course. Every piece of documentation will try to reflect on different angles.
 
 The critical and theoretical research will be weaved around the actual documentations, in order to create a discourse and annotate the development of this practice.

+    -   Code as common. Documentation as loose interface between different needs.
