Discussion

Jaime Hyland Sep 7, 2011:
Change It has since been pointed out that an Anpassungsdokument might refer to changes made in a development cycle to existing functions (rather than newly added functions). I can just see the logic of this, though I've not seen such an Anpassungsdokument in my time. If that is the sense, I'd suggest the word "change".
Jaime Hyland Sep 6, 2011:
Customisation Anpassungsdokumentation is the documentation that describes what a user has to do with his or her existing system to get the most out of a newly installed software application or suite. It includes changes that may have to be made to the newly installed software package itself. It has no connection with maintenance (usually "Pflege" or "Wartung").

customisation documents

I have been in the habit of translating "Dokumentationen" the above into English as "documents" wherever appropropriate. I think this is the case here.

One possible reference:
Development - JXplorer - an open source ldap browser Trimmed ant build xml file. Check and extend customisation documents. Include the existing junit tests in the source download. Improve and extend this web site ... http://jxplorer.org/development.html - 11k - Páginas similares

Typo: Should read '... translating "Dokumentationen" into English...'
My apologies.

porting documentation

This would apply if you were going to migrate an application from one computer platform to a different one, say MSDOS to Windows7. It may very well fit with your context.
