Hello Carlos, welcome to the documentation team

Hi everyone, As a new user getting involved in the project, I have been thinking about how the documentation is presented. I would like to share an idea for structuring it into three main sections to make it more intuitive, especially for newcomers. Here is what I have in mind: 1. Users Section This would be the starting point for anyone installing Debian. It could cover: Installation: Step-by-step guides for both GUI and CLI (Command Line Interface). A key addition would be explaining exactly what each command does during the CLI installation. System Management: Basic commands for updating the system, downloading/installing software, and how to properly add proprietary (non-free) software. Terminal Basics: A brief guide on how to navigate the terminal. 2. Developers Section This section would dive into the technical side of the OS: Deep dive documentation into the Debian codebase. A comprehensive guide on how to create a custom distribution based on Debian. 3. Volunteers / Contributors Section A dedicated space to organize the community effort: A clear breakdown of the different areas that currently need help. An explanation of what each area does and how to execute the tasks required. Clear instructions or a sign-up process for those who want to support a specific team. I understand Debian already has a massive amount of documentation, but I thought a unified structure like this could make the learning curve much smoother. I would love to hear your thoughts on this approach or if there is already an ongoing effort similar to this that I can help with!
One start point to work on documentation is our wiki (wiki.debian.org)You can start there to collect the documentation and we can discuss and improve it.
