Hello everyone, I have worked a bit on the documentation recently.
In my opinion the first step to grow the community is to have a welcoming and easy to read documentation. Whether it is to understand the code structure, test out Baremaps or just understand what Baremaps is. In my opinion this is not clear at the moment. The scope of the project has evolved from the initial goal which was to create vector tiles from OSM data. Most of the links to Github are broken on the website. The example files are no longer available on the main repository which break both the IntelliJ configurations and the documentation. Finally, the main README is also outdated. I have created 3 PRs, [1] to update the README, [2] to put back the examples in the main repository and [3] to improve and add new sections to the website. My work is probably not perfect as I had to edit a lot of files in a short amount of time. I still have to test out all the guides as well. If anyone is interested in reviewing my pull requests or testing the guides, please do. Anyway we should probably merge this quickly, as many things in the current documentation are outdated or broken. Then we can improve it iteratively.
