Write/Update Wiki Docs

[jennparker]

Let's use this issue to consolidate and track docs that need to be written or updated. Note: Docs that need to be moved to or within the wiki are being tracked in a separate issue. This issue is only for adding or making changes to content. Please help add to this list.

Write
These are new documents that we need to have written:

Tutorials
These should be added as separate wiki pages and should be added to Tutorials and Guides

• Websites containing pages of different heights
  Easy rearranging of content - move sections up/down with keyboard arrow keys

General Documentation

Update
These are existing documents that need to be updated:

• Silex and Javascript needs new screenshots
• Editor UI Context Menu - update for latest version
• Editor UI Elements - add more detail
• Editor UI Main Menu - update for latest version
• Editor UI Properties - update for latest version
• Editor UI Settings Section - update for latest version
• Silex Publication Process - update for latest version - see this issue for more details.

I'll get started on this next week. I'm heading into finals starting tomorrow... Is there a repository of GIFs and graphics to be used with these docs?

[singchan]

Great!
There is no repo of media, they are all in the posts and on youtube

[David1platt]

Hey Singchan thanks for the feedback. The documentation maintenance is pretty casual. I totally revamped the Getting Started page, and the Dashboard section while that was a separate page. I don't feel like I've been properly introduced to the team.

[singchan]

you can introduce yourself in a new issue maybe?

[singchan]

and you can add your name, like @jeff3211 did

also the page looks great, somone should try to follow the turorial now :)

That's awesome, @David1platt, thanks! All, sorry that I haven't been able to contribute much lately. I've started a short term contract position that has kept me very busy. As part of a writing sample submitted for a recent interview, I revamped the Silex README.md. I have put it in a new page in the wiki temporarily so you can review it. I cut some bits of the current README out, so I'm not sure if it 100% usable in its current form. I'd love some feedback/contribution help if there is anything else that should be in the document. For example, I cut out the Hosting your own instance part (mainly because I wasn't completely sure on all of the steps to do so). I think it might be a good topic to move to a wiki page anyway. Thoughts?

[singchan]

it looks good to me

[David1platt]

@jennparker The readme is well written, and free of grammar issues. Nice work!

Hey folks I updated the UI Main Menu section of the of the Editor UI page. The context menu has completely changed. Should I just describe the functionality of the menu at the top of the editor window? I also updated the guide for working with the live map component - here. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @David1platt

Hey folks I updated the UI Main Menu section of the of the Editor UI page.

Nice work! Looks very good to me
Maybe you should make the list of components (Utils) link to the components pages? And the "code menu" and "Pages" and "Settings" have their doc section too I think

The context menu has completely changed. Should I just describe the functionality of the menu at the top of the editor window?

Yes you are right it changed completely a while ago.. So yes sure 👍

I also updated the guide for working with the live map component - here. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Here are small changes I made, feel free to revert them and take the ones you like

I like what you did with it!

[lexoyo]

@David1platt nice!
Did you put them in the wiki somewhere already?

[lexoyo]

Websites containing pages of different heights
Easy rearranging of content - move sections up/down with keyboard arrow keys

this is actually a good idea
if someone is ready to write we can chat about it, I can explain how to do it

[David1platt]

@lexoyo I haven't put the images in the wiki yet. I wanted to be careful with how images work with the text. Sorry I haven't worked on documentation in a while.

[lexoyo]

Hi
I updated the issue #238 to redirect people to the more recent content in the wiki here
Screenshots are still old though

[lexoyo]

Hi
I guess this task is done, what do you think?
