The ODK Book! Written by Tomonori HOSHI

どうもありがとうございます, Hoshi-san. This book is really an amazing contribution to the community!

For me, I think the more options ODK users have to learn from, the better! And I don't think it distracts from the community at all, if anything, it's an opportunity for the community to understand how we can better support Tomonori's initiative.

The problems that Tomonori highlights are things that everyone can help with! A few places to that we can all contribute to are:

  1. Provide feedback on how we can re-organize the docs to make them more approachable. Maybe we really do need to provide step-by-step guides for new users to get started. See (re)Organizing the Docs - #2 by yanokwa to provide that feedback.
  2. Help the docs contributors generate offline-able resources. See this GitHub issue on PDF output and help there.
  3. Start exploring the best way to translating the docs. There was an initial discussion here: Documentation Plans - #18 by wonderchook.
