Documentation Revamp / Organisation #1350
Description
The examples and some of the documentation around Processing are kind of all over the place
The Goal
Have one repo where documentation lives: processing-website
The current issues
Suggested actions
- Get rid of any instances where the developer has to make sure repositories live next to each other on disk
- Migrate
processing-doclet into the processing-website and make it run on build
- Research further into migrating / replicating the custom doclet into Gradle and make it run w gradle
- Delete
processing-doclet repo
- Migrate
processing-examples into the processing-website
- Tested, still need to figure out how to merge the folders whilst keeping history
- Archive
processing-examples
- Remove all read-only files from
processing-website
- Move the generation of
keywords.txt back into the processing4 repo
- Add an automatic update trigger for
processing4-javadoc to the processing4 repo release action (or migrate processing4-javadoc into the processing4 repo)
- Migrate Javadoc from Ant to Gradle

I tried to summarize the current architecture (thanks Stef for your feedback)

I can't be completely sure we're not missing any obscure dependencies but this should cover the big ones. I fully support any efforts to simplify and automate this legacy tangle of repos.

For the Processing docket, I will move that functionality into the processing4 repo along with the functionality of the keywords.txt from the website

Yeah this is the thing I'm the most concerned about with this one. So I think we should move slowly and thoughtfully
