customisation documents


Explanation:
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


Explanation:
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.
