Hi, I'm offering help to write "getting started" documentation. As a programmer, I'm still not using camlistore even locally. I'd like to target slightly technical users, but at least for now I'd try to avoid attracting non-technical users that could loose data and complain / need a lot of support.
Is someone working on making documentation on the easiest possible way to get started? I've googled, read the github and website and some of the maillist, but still can't find a kind of getting started guide that goes through everything camlistore. A guide with big font, nice pictures, bullet points and such things. (I also noticed that camlistore.org reminds very much of etherpad.org one or two major design/text remakes ago. I was part of Etherpad's first remake.) The guide I'm imagining would list step-by-step information for: * installing camlistore locally (Win, OSX, popular distros) and mounting virtual disks * adding local dumb blob-storage (an attached USB-disk or SD-card or whatever) * adding remote dumb blob-storage (AWS?) * adding remote full nodes on (scaleway, RPi ?) I'd like this kind of guide to be only practical, with the singular goal of making the reader a daily active user of camlistore. I'd probably make some PRs, if I became an active user myself. I read the post from April on using scaleway. It really seems to be the quickest route to a full node. Before committing I'd want to have an idea of my alternatives. Probably compare that to buying NAS-units that can connect with simple USB and show up as simple FAT32 disks. To get an appropriate perspective on camlistore vs KISS and deflect some users and use-cases.
