Hi Thomas,
as you show, the information is all there and very detailed. I am not saying
that you don't provide excellent documentation! We talked about that before
- I tried the "search, don't sort" approach and came across the config key,
which then I used without a job context because this would have required
reading the whole manual on the generator. Which I should have of course.
The way a typical user thinks, I suppose, is outcome-oriented: "I want to
copy the files from source to build", without knowing what job this requires
and what keys to use - and without the patience to read up on the whole
generator documentation. So maybe there should be a collection of "How-to's"
which only cover the most common cases - some sort of FAQ for the generator.
Cheers,
Christian
