This can be a good place to explain some of the Meteor mental model and organization -

Why client-side rendering
Reactivity
Different components and projects of Meteor, and how they compare to competitors/alternatives
Where to find different repositories on GitHub

I guess we sort of already cover this in the welcome article--I suspect expanding on that would make sense rather than duplicating the ideas again in another article? Unless there's a lot of content you are thinking of?

@tmeasday - we were discussing the content here: https://www.meteor.com/projects. It's perhaps a bit long to be used directly in the guide, but there's a lot of valuable material there which sets the scene for the rest of the guide, and isn't easily discoverable in its current location.

Ahh, yeah. I did see some other correspondence about that. I quite like that stuff, it seems like a lot of useful work to drop on the floor (although is there a maintenance plan for it?).

Answer 5 · 2016-01-19T00:31:35.000Z

Yeah I mean that stuff really should be much shorter and the guide is a great place for it IMO

I guess, to use @tmeasday's words, "it got dropped on the floor", as the link is now dead.

If there's an actionable item here that can still provide value, I'd love for us to look into that. Please do submit a PR to this repository for consideration!

The "projects" (i.e. list of packages) is currently available in the packages directory of the main repository: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/tree/devel/packages. It roughly represents what was at the now defunct meteor.com/projects page. Individual packages have their own README.md, which is certainly the most reasonable way to maintain that documentation, but it's possible it should be linked to somewhere. This page is briefly linked to within the DEVELOPMENT.md document which outlines the various parts of Meteor core.

I'm not actively involved with Meteor any more, but this was in my open issues. It was the content at meteor.com/projects that was valuable. If it's gone, it's gone.
