Note on the Docs
NeoHaskell is an ongoing effort that is yet in an early development stage. Throughout the documentation you might find badges like the following:
Try hovering your mouse over it! (and if you click on it, it will take you to the GitHub issue that's tracking the implementation).
This badge means that this feature is documented but it is not implemented. This is on purpose.
We believe that the documentation is the central part of any good development experience, therefore we first write the documentation, and only then, we implement the required things to make the feature defined in the documentation possible.
One of the primary statements of NeoHaskell is:
This doesn't apply only to the command line tool, libraries, and so on, but also to the documentation itself.
Requesting Clarification
If you find yourself reading some part in the documentation and you're having trouble understanding it, click on the Edit this page button on the bottom left of the page, and the GitHub repository with that page will open.
Click on the top right pencil icon to open the editor.
In that editor, mark the part that you find unclear. You can use any kind of marker that you want, as long as it marks well the part you're not clear about. For example:
--->>> some documentation sentence <<<--- rest of documentation....
Once you finished, click on the big green button on the top right, select "Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request" and click on propose changes:
A screen will appear, fill it with the title of your request and some description on what could help you understand this better.
Click on Create Pull Request, someone from the contributor team will be notified about this, so the section can be clarified.
This is Important
This process helps everyone to maintain a great documentation that everyone can understand, and these are actually the most important contributions, as when you have experience and knowledge about any topic it is very easy to miss on the actual details that newcomers can find daunting.
Thanks for reading this part! Now onwards to learn NeoHaskell!
