Hi doxygen (and similar) users,

Are any of you involved in formal code reviews to check/edit the comments for embedded documentation? If so, howz that workin' for ya?

We're trying to improve integration of embedded documentation within our code base for our SDKs, along with other improvements in our code review process. As the technical writer for the department, I'm trying to swim further upstream in the s/w life cycle to effectively contribute to the content, quality and consistency of the embedded documentation. So far, it's been difficult to access the code before code-freeze to edit the comments. Therefore, I want to incorporate myself into the formal schedule for code reviews (as long as that happens for the projects... <smirk>).

Thanks,
