Implement documentation page

[Kissaki]

Intro to our different types of configuration

[Kissaki]

• Collect some requirements - mandatory and optional/wishes
• Add a docs landing page
• Migrate slice docs
• Migrate Ice docs into scripting page with subpages
• Establish a menu navigation
• Migrate server setup guide
• Map out migration order (ACL, features, translation, FAQ, scripting, theming, development)
• Figure out if and how to integrate (or just link) protocol documentation

[Kissaki]

Mandatory Requirements

• Figure out if and how to take over existing content (content history and copyright/author naming), maybe for each page individually

Wishes

• Edit page link to allow easy submitting of PRs ✅

General References of good documentation pages

• docs.microsoft.com
  • GitHub integration
  • Page and in-page navigation and index
  • Edit page via PR
  • GitHub issues displayed and linked on pages
• Hugo documentation https://gohugo.io/content-management/menus/

docs.microsoft.com is definitely what we should take inspiration from.

They use markdown for pages, meaning that the end result (without the theme/style) can be previewed.

I think I will make this a multi part and partial process.

Migrate some content, then establish frontend tech like the page navigation, then menu navigation, and only then more content.

Seeing some of the content, I want to also improve the structure. Adding a hierarchical structure to our shitty wiki structure should yield a great improvement IMO.

• bep/docuapi is a Hugo theme for documentation (demo)
• SCSS

Once mumble-voip/mumble#4628 is ready, it could be included.

@vrifox maybe you can use this issue as some sort of context for potential future discussions/projects/involvement/you name it :)

[Kissaki]

I created a tool that converts page + revision + author data to git commits and markdown files with frontmatter. One result see #187

@Krzmbrzl and @vrifox went through the wiki pages to determine which pages would even be potentially worthwhile to migrate - current draft/selection at https://github.com/Krzmbrzl/mumble-wiki-export

[Krzmbrzl]

@restitux was the one who took initiative with the wiki export (tagging to include into the conversation here)

[Kissaki]

I'll list a table of the pages included in the mumble-wiki-export that are potentially worth to then assess and migrate them:
