| Abstract | Most program documentation is written by developers for developers. This often results in documentation that is less than satisfactory in terms of quality, relevance, and longevity of information to developers who will be responsible for subsequent enhancements to the product. This paper outlines an approach to producing effective program documentation by connecting technical communicators and technical developers in a pair-wise manner. This approach is modeled on the development methodology advocated by eXtreme Programming (XP). Programmers who adopt XP work in pairs, and thus are in constant communication with one another. By pairing a technical communicator with a technical developer, many of the same benefits can be gained. Rather than eschewing program documentation, the paired communicator and developer instead produce high-quality documentation during the development process, with little extra effort, resulting in a more maintainable software application. The paper also describes some recent experiences in pairing a senior person and a junior person in communicator and developer roles to enhance program documentation of a long-lived and popular research application. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
