Proposition for a structured documentation

Wiki

I propose to create a first page, with one section by language:

  • English documentation
    • FAQ
    • Documentation
    • Articles
    • How-to (example)
    • Get help or give help!
    • dev section
  • French documentation
    • FAQ
    • Documentation
    • ...

Or something like this:

  • User:
    • Documentation
    • Articles
    • How-to (example)
    • Get help or give help!
    • FAQ
  • Developper
  • French translation
    • Documentation
    • FAQ
    • ...
  • German translation

Each page have a link to the original english page if existing (for the translated page). When a wiki page become interesting we can merge it to the official documentation.

Official documentation

Each chapter will give one or more links to the example page.
