Towards restructured manual

2007-05-02 Thread Martin Arver

After the main menu hit the repos and the fact that this is now the
first contact with Rockbox, I don't think I am alone in thinking that
the manual could use some restructuring.
A lot of problems users had in the past, was to understand the nature
of rockbox. E.g. that the filebrowser is the root etc.
I think we can simplify certain parts of the manual, and move stuff around.
For one, i think the root menu could be described as early as in the
quick start chapter with pointers to in-depth descriptions of the
different parts (Files, Database etc).

I like the concept of dividing chapters by use, and imo we should stick to that.
Example:
chapter: 3. Browsing and playing
section: 3.1 Files (description of the filebrowser)
section: 3.2 Database (description of the database)
section: 3.2 Now playing ...
etc.

So, a little feedback and ideas would be great at this stage. Like,
what to do with Radio, Recording etc.

Dominik set up a page in the wiki for this a long time ago, and I want
to breathe some life into that page.
Check out http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ManualStructureTalk
and add your comments, ideas, or anything else you find appropriate.

Cheers
Martin

Personally I don't care about start-time and playlist index.  I only have 
different pod radio channel bookmarks that I select.


I know from other places where they have 2-line-select-list that I don't 
really like them.  I prefer that the only the selected line is expanded to two 
lines (more tricky unless this is implemented).


To get good UI response, the bookmark file would probably need to be buffered 
a bit, possibly using the plugin buffer.


Buffering sounds good for me.  I'm a bit annoyed about the slow response 
when browsing bookmarks.

I don't see any problem with that.
