Minutes from October 2021 Meeting -
#97 (comment)

[jbrider]

Following this meeting there were concerns raised by @uqghamme and @kchenu regarding not being able to print out the documentation. Before we remove existing documentation functionality - which is not going to be immediately replaced, do we need to consider this with more focus from a scientific community perspective rather than just developers. Our primary output for results will be published papers but we didn't really look at the issue of published results with reference to a live documentation model - ie: what was the particular model's parameters/methods at the time the results were produced.
