Docs, Forums about pyrocms

[RyanThompson]

First, thank you for evaluating the software! I am all too aware of the shortcomings, unfortunately. Though, fortunately, I am working to correct them! However, the path is not an easy one nor super quick.

Maintaining forums is not something we are keen on doing, so we will be leaning on our Discord (or Slack in the future, idk, Discord integrations are somewhat lacking) community and StackOverflow integration to increase the visibility within the community. I am going to clean out and end up uninstalling the forum. Made it read-only for now.

I think you nailed it on docs - they are very much written for developers, as this CMS is built for developers to build with and then hand over to their clients. It is NOT designed for non-developers to create things (though it can lend itself do that group, but as you've discovered, has a learning curve). The next iteration of docs will be more aligned with non-developers, as it will be a product in an ecosystem that is already focused on developers (Laravel Streams). The next iteration will also be much more simple in concept (no installer, no compiling, straightforward concepts).

This post (not live yet, scheduled to for the morning of the 24th of January) explains more of the expectations and roadmap for the future: https://pyrocms.com/posts/laravel-streams-pyrocms-4
