Subject: [NTG-context] Wiki - test/proposal to further clarify documentation
Date: Sun, 14 Apr 2024 11:21:38 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <171309369853.3369328.13776426815856253767@cgl.ntg.nl> (raw)

Hi all,

I just discover the Diátaxis documentation framework :
- https://www.diataxis.fr/
- 30min video : "What nobody tells you about documentation", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4vKPhjcMZg  , from Daniele Procida at PyCon 2017

As I understand it, it can help both readers and writers of the documentation by clarifying the purpose of each element.

So I started a potential new "welcome page" :  https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page2

The main lines would be :
- Tutorials: installation pages, step by step examples
- How-to guides: most of the existing wiki pages which are not https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands/ ...
- Discussions and manuals: most of the existing manuals
- Reference : the pages dedicated to commands which already include link to mailing list, stack exchange, ConTeXt's source
  - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Commands
  - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Special:PrefixIndex?prefix=Command%2F

To match the logic of Diátaxis, maybe some material from command pages should be moved from "Reference" to "How-to guides",
for example, when the examples go beyond "pure description" and begin to deal with "how-to" cases, e.g. :
- Reference for setuphead: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuphead
- How-to guides for headings: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles

If it make sense, and according to your feedbacks, I can continue to reallocate existing contents.

Thanks for your feedback and thoughts.
Garulfo
