Hi Simon,
thanks for the positive and inviting feedback !
As for ideas: One of the things I have read Orion developers talk about
and that other popular IDEs do is have a welcome page.
I think that would be a great idea for Orion because if you first start
it you feel a bit deserted / underwhelmed.
This welcome page could duplicate the links of the main menu: editor,
git, site, shell, etc. but with a descriptive text for each.
They would also have quick access links to the most recent: projects,
repositories and sites under there respective section.
And of course I would incorporate the "getting started"
orion.core.content templates here as well. ;-)
Maybe there could even be some room for the latest Orion news on such a
page :)
And links to the user mailing list, Wiki (and/or Documentation).
( Just brainstorming a bit here... )
But maybe the news sections should only open up ( using CSS transitions
) to reveal more content on a click on "more..."
so we don't go the other extreme and suddenly overwhelm users.
( This section could then also be used to collect some basic usage stats
btw. )
And there should be a link in the main menu to this page, "home" or
"welcome page" or so.
Cheers,
Ray.
