CMake is a large set of tools which touches upon many topics.

I think everyone is doing their questions and know little about the problems and successes of others.

I noticed that the version for developers (from cmake.org/file/dev does not contain the html documentation (I checked for Windows).

Fresh build documentation from 7 October:

Sphinx
http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake/doc/sphinx

Doxygen
http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake/doc/doxygen

In the first place when the distribution CMake version is created Sphinx and it's a good documentation.
But I urge you not to forget about documenting code - it will help new developers to understand and 
to make a contribution. The version of Doxygen documentation is not in the best form, but I have plans to work
over this.

And advertising:

CMake 3.1 will contain the new CPack generator called "IFW", which will help to create a nice installer with a graphical user interface on the desktop.

Fresh morning building (with html documentation from Sphinx) online installer with update support.

Linux:
http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake/cmake-dev-linux-x86_64-online.run

Windows:
http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake/cmake-dev-windows-x86-online.exe

Set one is updated constantly :-)

All for a good day!
