[gerdesque]

Based on feedback gathered from our recent user survey, several areas of the Mirador documentation have been identified as needing improvement to enhance the user experience. The following key areas require updates:

1. Improve Documentation for Standalone Setup

• Objective: Make it easier for users to start Mirador as a standalone application.
• Proposed Actions:
  • Provide step-by-step instructions for setting up Mirador standalone.
  • Include common troubleshooting tips for standalone installation.
  • Add examples of typical use cases for standalone deployment.

2. Improve Documentation for Framework Integration

• Objective: Simplify the process of starting Mirador within popular frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue).
• Proposed Actions:
  • Add specific sections or pages detailing integration steps for various frameworks.
  • Provide example code snippets for different frameworks.
  • Highlight potential issues users might face when integrating Mirador within these frameworks and suggest solutions.

3. Enhance Plugin Usage Documentation

• Objective: Ensure it’s easy for users to understand how to use and develop plugins within Mirador.
• Proposed Actions:
  • Expand the documentation on plugin architecture and lifecycle.
  • Provide detailed examples of plugin creation and usage.
  • Include a list of available plugins with brief descriptions and use cases.
  • Ensure that plugin-related documentation is easily accessible from the main documentation pages.

Additional Notes:

• The improvements should focus on clarity, ease of understanding, and practical examples that users can directly apply.
• User feedback indicated that the current documentation is too sparse in these areas, leading to difficulties during setup and usage.

Tasks:

• Update standalone setup documentation.
• Update framework integration documentation.
• Enhance plugin usage documentation.
