3. **Performance Benchmarks**: Add performance benchmarks and optimization guides
4. **Troubleshooting Guides**: Add comprehensive troubleshooting documentation

### Maintenance
1. **Regular Updates**: Keep documentation updated as the project evolves
2. **Version Tracking**: Track documentation changes with project versions
3. **User Feedback**: Incorporate user feedback to improve documentation
4. **Automated Validation**: Consider automated validation of documentation accuracy

## Conclusion

The `.notes` directory has been successfully reorganized into a comprehensive, well-structured documentation system. The new structure provides:

- **Clear organization** of all project documentation
- **Comprehensive coverage** of all major components
- **Detailed implementation** information for both rpm-ostree and apt-ostree
- **Preserved history** through the archive directory
