(It's probably a good idea to provide more than one location where docs may be accessible from when it would make natural sense for them to be located there.) Community
HistoryLisp is nearly unique in the PL world as having such a long and Rich history. We've got some materials gathered -- we should continue to make this one of the features of the documentation site (not only Lisp, but Erlang as well). Other Media
As a list, this would be spread out on a page with important information lost "below the fold" -- so we should have a grouping of topics towards the top in something like a jumbotron. Additional cues for what's available can be giving in a new, docs-site-wide menu, which would also highlight the major topic areas. (The Github Docs site has a good example of this.) |
We need to present just 2 or 3 of these to the site visitor initially, the most important ones. Here's my ranking of the importance for the sections listed above, in this given context (that of web visitors):
As such, my gut is to just put links to "Learning LFE" and "Language Reference" on the front of the docs page, and then have the rest be easily discoverable. Hrm, it would probably be a good idea to indicate which of these would be in the form of traditional docs (and thus versioned for LFE releases) and which would just be regular content maintained regardless of LFE version.

Next, we need to choose the links for the bottom/footer. Github uses the following:
This is a good place for generally useful but possibly minor links. The sorts of things that people will be looking for and expect to find in a footer. Maybe these?

The OpenStack docs identify the following for their project: Column 1
Column 2
Admittedly, very different projects with very different focus, but some good organization for their particular needs and audience. |
Addressing this task:
We're going to version the whole site. |

The current v3 demo page uses the following in the footer:

Addressing this task:
Let's start with these:

Addressing this task:
The lfe-deprecated/docs3#2 issue is working with these:

This is pretty much done for now: lfe-deprecated/docs3@70703c8 We can update as necessary later. |
Tasks:
Our information architecture is basically non-existent. We need to create one.
