There's a list of things that should be right there on the project homepage:
- What is this project?
- Who is the intended audience?
- Why would I use it?
- How does it compare to other projects?
- Where should I go for help/support, i.e. where is the mailing list/forums/etc.
- How can I get up and running with the minimum of effort?
- andrewingram 8y ago- why might I not want to use it?
- brewdad 8y agoI really appreciated the "drawbacks" link on the sidebar at migadu.com. If you know there are use cases that don't fit your goals, admit them up front.
- ChrisSD 8y agoA lot of proprietary projects don't even do that. The project homepage is targeted at managers so to a programmer it often comes across as meaningless marketing blurb (IMHO).
