what is easy to find on the website

[David W. Farmer]

I am writing a short article for MAA Focus, tentatively titled
"PreTeXt for accessible documents".

In the article I refer to the pretext-support group, the drop-in
sessions, and the getting started workshops.

I would like to point the reader only to pretextbook.org ,
and not give separate links for each of the above items.

At present, is it not immediate to find those things on the website.

Would it be reasonable to change the home page of pretextbook.org
to add a link to a "Getting started resources" page, or some such thing?

Email me if you want a link to the draft of what I am writing;
I'd rather not post it here until it is official.

Regards,

David

Dear David,

Thanks for this effort in futherance of the cause.

Some of this (groups and drop-in) are on the "Community" page.

But maybe we need a "Support" page.

- Guide
- Getting Started
- pretext-announce, pretext-support, pretext-a11y (but not pretext-dev)
- Link to Guide's "Welcome to the Community" division
- Drop-In
- More

Not necessarily in that order.

I think Oscar would like to minimize the number of pages. I always try to avoid
maintaining duplicates of *anything* and there would be overlap. But I do tnink
"Community" is different.

Website is in a separate repo now. So you can make pull requests.

Unless Oscar objects, I could try to form a new page with a rough starting
point. You could make a PR to fit the purposes you see as you work on your article.

For the purposes of the article I am writing, I am thinking
I should link to

https://pretextbook.org/community.html

That has links to the items I mention. But it took me a bit to realize
that it had what I wanted.

So maybe the home page needs a clear link to something like a
"Welcome to PreTeXt" page. That page could be pretty similar to the
current Community page, but is more directly aimed at new people,
or reassuring people who are thinking about trying/switching to PreTeXt.

Regards,

David
