Blog or docs? #6
Comments
I agree. Until this guide matures, it's easier to open issues to coordinate in here. Opening issues in the JuliaLang/Julia repo would add quite a bit of noise. ToucheSir's comment in the Discourse summarizes my thoughts well:
I propose we go through this process once we finalize a section in here.
This sounds reasonable. Is the difference between the two formats large enough to make this an issue? Another aspect that we should discuss is the writing style. To be upstreamed to the Julia docs, the guides would have to be written in a more formal style than e.g. contents from #4. |
Indeed, excessive PR reviewing stifles contributions. At least at the beginning of what we're doing here, I propose we add things without systematically waiting for each other's feedback. I set up a branch protection so that PRs are necessary but reviews are not, so feel free to merge within reason. |
Not really, it's mostly Markdown. The only thing is, there is necessarily gonna be a lot of rewriting when the time comes to contribute to the docs, whereas submitting it to the Julia blog would require much less editing. Since I'd like us to do both, I actually would prefer keeping Franklin (plus it looks prettier)
Literate.jl does something quite similar |
I'm open to being more casual than the official docs, again the first step in my view is to submit this as a blog post. However, let's keep it always respectful and inclusive |
My thoughts:

Sounds good to me! I'm more used to US spelling but none of us is a native speaker so let's not be too picky on weird syntax, at least at first |
Ok we can do that after then :) |
See the pretty convincing discussion on Discourse: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/write-documentation-prs-not-blog-posts/100942/
In the short term, it feels more motivating for me to see results and progress immediately, so I vote to keep this website as a place to coordinate drafts and add new content.
In the long term however, I do agree that all of this belongs in the official docs. Does it make a difference if we move the website format from Franklin to Documenter, so that future transfer becomes easier? In any case we could annotate each section with a link to where it belongs in the docs, and set up a way to monitor progress when the time comes to contribute back.
What do you think @jacobusmmsmit @adrhill ?
