Abstract :
The authors describe the ideas of Elucidative Programming. With Elucidative Programming we are primarily concerned with documentation of program understanding, and presentation of such understanding on the World Wide Web. In a broader perspective, we are interested in support of any technical writing which needs to address source program constituents. We claim that Elucidative Programming may be helpful for these purposes, mainly due to a documentation model based on relations between places in the documentation and program constituents. The article introduces a concrete Elucidator tool for Java. We use this tool as outset for a discussion of collaboration and teamwork centered in WWW based program presentations
