The Alpha Documentation Team is debating how best to implement Alpha's new documentation system. A record of sugguestions, ideas, and comments are provided on the AIDE page.
The New Alpha Documentation
Craig Upright and Donavan Hall are rewriting and updating Alpha's documentation. The following is a rough outline of proposed document sets. See also the AIDE Numbering Scheme for how these document sets/projects fit in AIDE.
1. Alpha Quick Start (What's up with the line wrapping?)[2]
2. Learning Alpha (I just need to get my dissertation written.)
3. Exploring Alpha (Adventurous Users)
4. Unlocking Alpha (Advanced Users/Developers)
5. The Alpha Cookbook
6. Alpha User's Reference
7. Alpha Developer's Reference
