Take my thoughts with a grain of salt but this approach might be worth considering.That's what I was looking for in vain when I got in touch with Haiku for the first time. I believe it to be extremely helpful for interested developers coming from the Windows world to have a hands-on step-by-step introduction. Making success experiences easier to achieve and with less frustration could make the potential devs feel more comfortable with Haiku development and prevent them from throwing in the towel. In my opinion an additional part of the mentioned walthrough should be debugging along with hints on where and how to find relevant logfiles.
There could be 2 paths into Haiku One for Users "welcome to Haiku OS/How to" document One for developers "developers guide to Haiku OS" documentEach oriented at the intended audience. Clogging up user documentation with developer documentation, will just frustrate the users, and a dual approach document designed for both will likely frustrate and bore a developer.
