Creation of good documentation

[jfollert]

It is very important to have a good documentation of the project, with commands, aids and translations.

Hey there,

I saw this help wanted/up-for-grabs-translate documentation for Ecolab. I would love to contribute and get oriented to the project.

Hi there @solisruj as you can see the project has not been receiving updates recently, but new help is always welcomed, if you want to help with the documentation, just make a fork and familiarize yourself with the project, after that just add some comments where you think are needed or feel free to change stuff, after you are finished make sure to do a PR, ill review it and hopefully merge your fork!

I would also like to help with adding documentation, I think this project is very interesting and I've been wanting to contribute to an open source project but I haven't found anything that wasn't too daunting.

Hey there @bruno-chavez, I read through all the files. I wanted to test EcoLab and run it on my laptop to see the platform in action. However, I only have one computer and am not sure how well it would run. Any recommendations? I basically wanted to see how EcoLab optimizes resources, and begin making edits where needed.

The best option in case you dont have any other machine to test it on, is setting up a Virtual Machine an install it there, feel free to contact me if you run into any trouble.

Hey Bruno, I tried installing EcoLabs on a virtual environment I setup. However, I was not sure how to go about installing and setting EcoLab up, so I went through and adjusted what I could based on my knowledge of formatting and commenting code for now. I think we should develop and write an installation guide using user machine and/or virtual machines. I would love to take on the project with some guidance.
