Continuing the discussion from Proposal for streamlined Getting Started documentation:
Currently both the Xenko site’s download section and the manual’s HOWTO Install Xenko give more or less the same information. We could either duplicate the information from the webpage on the manual or we could remove the manual’s page altogether.
On the one hand the manual’s page is a slightly out of date and repeats some things that are already on the Xenko Launcher’s page.
The website on the other hand gives a little more detailed information like sys requirements, source code repository, licensing and the current version of the installer in a nicely designed page.
Removing the manual’s page gets my preference as it provides a nice integrated story for both people coming from the website as the manual and eliminates double maintaince.
If we also add a link from the website to the Getting Started page we can help new visitor’s find the next steps after they installed.
