Community help with Website and Documentation Updates

[vade]

Would be great to get some non technical help with the Satin / Fabric site and documentation therein. Putting it here and pinning just for max visibility.

Later in the year I can probably spend some time helping out with this req.

Oh @shfitz that would be awesome and so welcome!

What do you think should be prioritized? An expanded version of the Architecture page, descriptions of nodes, examples, tutorials? all of the above or something else?

[vade]

So I think its a few things

• The main github pages project site is sort of.... not inspiring, so i think finding a good design to host some of the concerns, in
  • The Overall project goal of having multiple levels of creative coding environments that work together
  • Satin for Code (similar to OF / Processing)
  • Fabric for Node
• A reasonable organizing and nav system to host tutorial content for both, prioritizing Fabric I think for now.

In terms of Docs, its tough, since Fabric is somewhat of a moving target, i think things should be relatively lightweight

Priority should be

• Tutorials first for users
  • Intro to concepts
  • Drawing to screen using Mesh, Geometry and Material
  • Introduction to Parameters and data types
  • Environment and sub patches
  • Post Processing
  • ??
• Architecture / Docs for Devs / Advanced Users (once things settle down - Close to first Beta)
• How to make plugins (Once we get there in Beta era)
• Integration guide, how to use Fabric with your own custom apps (nearing end of Beta to launch?)

Im just winging it here haha! Maybe getting a nice page is actually less important than docs?

I was going to go through and make some examples (I actually have some already) but need a good structure to host them in a way that doesnt make updates a huge pain in the ass

This seems like an good overall approach for something quite similar

FWIW I added a discord server, https://discord.gg/CrG92BG7xp

I would be able to focus more on content than style, I would absolutely defer any sort of decisions on how to make it look nice to someone with skills in that arena

All good! We can baby step things

Ive also added Sample Docs and a Readme tutorial which could be a helpful beginning to a user guide?

[vade]

Added self documentation via Notes with Markdown in the fabric files

This will go away to help move web docs and in situ docs to be the same and compatible.

[vade]

I put together https://fabric.graphics, any suggestions / improvements welcome! I figure we can work on an additional layer of documentation / tutorials when things get a bit further along. All ideas welcome!
