referring to the usecases file in the README file...

Closed this issue · 7 comments

I'm not sure about the usefulness of the usecases file for external users, I see it as an internal document for the development team, maybe here a brief summary of the hypothetical contexts can be described, what do you think?

a casual user needs to understand what, where, when, e.g.:

  • what do I need to install if my setup is ...?
  • where do I copy the boot files if I have a router?
  • when (in which order) do I run all the pieces of software?

(see my comment in the README: the usecases file is not even referred in any other file!)

Yes! I've added a comment as well: "I'll write usecases in simpler terms for a new user. They were linked before but were too technical, like you previously said. I'll rewrite and put them back as soon as I get an opportunity."

you may leave the usecases file as technical as it is, but a summarized description should be written down

what do I need to install if my setup is ...?
where do I copy the boot files if I have a router?
I've tried to answer it in the frequently asked questions section. https://boottorrent.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html

when (in which order) do I run all the pieces of software?
I've tried to answer it in the quick start guide.

I've added usecases on the index page: https://boottorrent.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

Please consider reading them and let me know what you think.
Thank you.

(commented the README file)

I've simplified the use cases, the questions are answered in the FAQ section and added use case summary in the ./README.rst
Is that better?
