Re: Please review Leo's new 10-minute intro

After clicking 'Learn about Leo in 10 minutes' the first thing I read are quotes about Leo. This is a distraction and quite *annoying clutter.* Also I think you can delete "Leo is a full-featured outliner. Unique features make Leo a powerful IDE, Personal Information Manager and scripting

Re: Please review Leo's new 10-minute intro

Hello Edward, For me a very important thing in the 10 minutes intro would be: a) that the SW reflects the environment a 'newbie' finds (i.e. not your individual Leo setup ) & b) that it is up to date (i.e. does not reflect Leo 4.10 ...) HTH. With kind regards, VR -- You received this

Re: Leo's HOME directory

Re: Leo's HOME directory

Re: Rule #1 for documentation

Thanks Reinhard for your remarks. Timing with the Leo project and community has been pretty curious. Now I'm writing a "paper" for JOSS (Journal of Open Source Software [1]) and that implies improving the user documentation. So Reinhard remarks and the rewriting Leo doc are pretty timely.

Re: Leo's HOME directory

I'll use this thread because it seems relevant. I'm trying to do some experiments using Leo as a shell. Amongst other things I'm trying to change this current working directory. I have a small node script: @language python import os os.chdir("..") g.es(os.getcwd(), color="green") Perhaps
