This is already linked a few lines above -- search "The project coding conventions in the developer notes must be adhered to.". Do we need to add the link twice? Or re-organize for clarity? Seems like it might be a bit redundant (e.g. contributors should probably be expected to read this document in full anyway -- it's not really that long.) |
Maybe I was just being oblivious, but when I was looking for it for the clean up pr I could not find it after reading over the doc twice. Can't hurt to add another reference to it imo. Potentially just changing the wording could help. For example I was scanning for 'style' |
IMO it is helpful to have the link at hand and not have to scroll back. The easier documentation is to use, the more likely it will be used. Just my 2 cents... |
I'm all for making it easier, but prefer not to have the redundancy. E.g. what if the location of the referenced doc changes? Then we'd have 2 places to update, instead of one. We could re-word or re-organize the doc a bit though. I also would prefer not to make changes due to impatience, e.g. for those devs who are too impatient to look thru the docs or only do a quick search and can't find what they need. I think there's a balance between usability and just catering to impatience. E.g. we just maintain a single link, but can change the text to something like "The project code style conventions in the developer notes must be adhered to.". If necessary we could also add a bullet here which references the above without adding a redundant link. But that seems to be catering to those just quick skimming w/o actually reading thru the doc. |

I think it's fine to have yet another link and making it easier to find. I wouldn't overthink this tbh :)
