Hi all,

I just discover the Diátaxis documentation framework :
- https://www.diataxis.fr/
- 30min video : "What nobody tells you about documentation", 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4vKPhjcMZg  , from Daniele Procida at PyCon 
2017

As I understand it, it can help both readers and writers of the documentation 
by clarifying the purpose of each element.

So I started a potential new "welcome page" :  
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page2

The main lines would be :
- Tutorials: installation pages, step by step examples
- How-to guides: most of the existing wiki pages which are not 
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Commands/ ...
- Discussions and manuals: most of the existing manuals
- Reference : the pages dedicated to commands which already include link to 
mailing list, stack exchange, ConTeXt's source
  - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Category:Commands
  - https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Special:PrefixIndex?prefix=Command%2F

To match the logic of Diátaxis, maybe some material from command pages should 
be moved from "Reference" to "How-to guides",
for example, when the examples go beyond "pure description" and begin to deal 
with "how-to" cases, e.g. :
- Reference for setuphead: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuphead
- How-to guides for headings: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Titles

If it make sense, and according to your feedbacks, I can continue to reallocate 
existing contents.

Thanks for your feedback and thoughts.
Garulfo
