There’s a stale FAQ that I think predates this forum and the manual, and is rarely found. I don’t suggest it.
The manual home page says how to do such things, but it’s cumbersome to require GitHub pull requests.
Organizationally, the manual is an individual project, and has changed little lately. Help might be welcome.
If you have an interest in documentation, I think I can point to some areas where code is ahead of docs…
There was some internal discussion on some ways to give information that’s not typical manual material.
IMO: to be beneficial, it needs to be easy to use, and used enough to make it worth the trouble of writing it.
Search could be useful to save people from having to read through however long this winds up becoming.
To avoid finding, installing, and maintaining yet-another-tool, I thought maybe a forum category could work, however I would see if it could be more of an officially-maintained thing and not free-for-all chaos like here. Organizational capability might be kind of limited, but at least one would get a list of headlines to glance at.
Whatever is written might need periodic review, so there’s more of a workload on the few busy volunteers.
This would probably need some additional volunteers (perhaps you?) who are interested in launching this.
We might wish to make sure that it was really frequently-asked. An awful lot of things (maybe this?) aren’t.
We would want things that are well-enough understood to write up well, and offer some useful comments.
Challenges include varying reader expertise levels, and wanting to avoid detailing everything everywhere…
For that purpose, hyperlinks might be useful, until they break… Might also want a way to collect feedback.
Not everything is a question or an issue. A recent example is Good practices for well-maintained backups.
Ideas are good, but need refining and volunteers. If you (or anyone else) has an interest, please speak up.
Having put that out (and I’m not sure how many will notice it in here), care to begin a topic directly on this?
