In the spirit of simplifying everything for new Leonistas, I propose the following guidelines for the content of leoSettings.leo:
- No clones. - No disabled nodes. - No scripts except possibly @button buttons to help newbies. Certainly no developer scripts of any kind. - The "Startup" node should explain itself and tell new newbies not to change its contents. - The "About this file" node should have the clearest possible directions, with a link to a screencast, and a proper discussion of myLeoSettings.leo. The "simple things are too hard" attitude is a revolution: - Before, I would have said that clones make it easier to access settings. They do, but only for experts. - Before, I would have said, let's put lots of disabled settings in leoSettings.leo. Fine for experts; bad for newbies. I'll put these guidelines in place today. This will entail creating leo/config/settingsExamples.leo There will be no @settings node in this file, so there will be no need to disable any setting there. Terry, any comments? Anyone else?
