Documentation improvement initiative
This is an unsorted list of tasks, which improve the documentation. The original thread on the forum can be found here.
The List
| Id | Description | Info / Guides / People working on |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | promote wiki.dlang.org directly on D's webpage | |
| 2 | promote authors to copy/write/(at least link) articles/tutorials/cookbooks on the wiki | many articles/tutorials/cookbooks exist on the wiki, but also many are scattered threw out the web |
| 3 | decrease score of packages, which don't build on code.dlang.org | |
| 4 | Link tutorials or cookbooks in language and library reference | Existing examples are simple and clear. A newcomer needs also more complex examples, like tutorials or cookbooks. Use only one link in documentation to avoid clutter. |
| 5 | opinionated suggestions in getting started https://wiki.dlang.org/Getting_Started | a newcomer is overwhelmed by the possibilities of compilers,editors/ides; Suggestions: dmd, vscodium with code-d |
| 6 | pack this task list somewhere on the wiki | done |
| 7 | encourage newcomers to edit the wiki | This is a simple task, often dull to do for experienced community members, but great for newcomers, because they are included AND they explore the wiki and the community on themselves. |
| 8 | Finish the book https://github.com/PhilippeSigaud/D-templates-tutorial |
