instead of a boring table of contents, try to show our more exciting README file
it's still a wall of text, but at least all the buzzwords and highlights are there
ideally, the table of contents would be in the sidebar, but i don't know how to do that
this is a crude hack for now, and could use a better table of contents
but at least we have some way of linking and showing the different
internal functions
the next phase here is obviously to document that API through the
addition of docstrings. a static api.rst could also be easier to read,
but maybe that could go through some docstrings as well, to be tested
README.rst (shown on github and also at the start of the html docs) shall
be like an elevator speech - convince readers in a very short time.
this is most important, everything else can come after we got the reader's interest.
include README into docs to avoid duplication.
also include CHANGES into docs.
add developer docs, move examples from tox.ini there
add separate support docs
remove glossary, most of what was there can be understood by an admin from context
move attic and compatibility note to the end
faq about redundancy / integrity
compression is optional
having borg installed on backup server is optional (but faster)
cygwin installation tipps
do not document passphrase encryption mode example, use keyfile mode
it seems like there is currently no bureaucracy required, freenode web site says group registration is suspended.
i also asked on the freenode channel, they said just make sure you are right here and use it. so we do that now.
it's pretty useless to have .borg as a directory extension, especially
since there is a README in there stating that this is a borg repo.
conistency:
"backup" is always used as relative backup repository path
"/mnt/backup" is always used as absolute repository path
use borg instead attic except at the places where it was used:
- as toplevel package name, directory name, file name
- to refer to original attic
remove sphinx upload make command, will be replaced by github.io site later
remove references to binary downloads and linux packages for now
remove some software name references, fix grammar
use borgbackup rather than borg-backup (or borg) in URLs,
less name collision issues, better search results, no validity issues with "-"
