I am trying to design a better method for new users to get information about getting started with a few libraries I work with. I'm leaning towards asking them a series of questions, providing the appropriate information based on their answers. That is, rather than simply having a huge page with a table of contents something like:
A) Downloading the code a) Windows i) beginner ii) advanced b) Linux i) beginner ii) advanced (which quickly gets unwieldy and overwhelming), I was thinking of doing something more like: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/NewUser Where the user actually follows some "path" to get started by answering questions like: "Which operating system are you using? Windows or Linux" "Are you familiar with git? no yes" to bring them directly to the information they need. As you can see from those mock ups, doing this with normal text and links is quite "ugly". Has anyone seen a pattern/plugin/etc for MediaWiki that can accomplish something like this while being "prettier"? I'd hate to have to reinvent the wheel, or do something very manual when a better solution already exists. Thoughts/comments/suggestions? Thanks!
