Thomas Hampp updated UIMA-1783:
-------------------------------
Attachment: CasEditorGettingStarted.pdf
> Documentation should be improved
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: UIMA-1783
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1783
> Project: UIMA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CasEditor
> Affects Versions: 2.3
> Reporter: Thomas Hampp
> Attachments: CasEditorGettingStarted.pdf
>
>
> The current CasEditor documentation is far to short to allow people a smooth
> start. We have been using the CasEditor a lot over the last year but were
> forced to write -and maintain- a "Getting Started" guide ourselves to work
> around this.
> Even after more than a year of working with it I still have not figured out
> how to get "Processors" to work.
> Unfortunately the editor is not self-explanatory and the lack of
> documentation is slowing adoption. One key point we noted for new users is
> the lack of mouse/context-menu equivalents for the most important functions
> (add/delete/edit annotations). Of course nobody will use them in the long run
> but that is where people look for the function. And that is also where the
> keyboard shortcut could be advertised.
> I think a sample project is crucial for better adoption (there is already a
> JIRA issue for that).
> I am attaching a PDF with the startup guide for our users. That is by no
> means perfect and some of it's content is covered by existing documentation.
> But it still may be helpful.
