    If you write it down it is documentation. When requirements are written down, they are documented! Requirements are not the same thing as specifications either, but both are documentation!

    You are saying that only technical documentation counts as documentation.

      I think you’re not getting the point.

      It matters nothing if you write down something. For a project, only the requirements specification matters. The system requirements specification document lists exactly what you need to deliver and under which conditions. It matters nothing if you write a README.md or post something in a random wiki.

      Requirements are not the same thing as specifications either, but both are documentation!
