I'd love to see the same sort of thing for kakoune, that goes beyond just the philosophy document; so far my experience has been characterized by wandering through somewhat terse documentation. Learning kakoune well enough to use was taken care of by [TRAMPOLINE](https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/blob/master/contrib/TRAMPOLINE), but I'd love to get to know the underlying mental model better.\r\n\r\nEDIT: right after I posted this I found the [doc](https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/tree/master/doc) directory, which has some really good stuff. So maybe my suggestion would be to surface that a bit better. It's a little disorienting navigating between a fat readme, a sparse wiki, and source-controlled documentation."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mawww/kakoune/issues/comments/368559649","html_url":"https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/issues/1880#issuecomment-368559649","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mawww/kakoune/issues/1880","id":368559649,"user":{"login":"staab","id":2494842,"avatar_url":"https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/2494842?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/staab","html_url":"https://github.com/staab","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/staab/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/staab/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/staab/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/staab/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/staab/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/staab/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/staab/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/staab/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/staab/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-02-26T16:25:19Z","updated_at":"2018-02-26T16:25:19Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"Cool, that's helpful. I've since read through most of the docs at this point and have a better idea of what's still going on, though I'd still read something like Learn Kakoune the Hard Way. I'm not sure if you want to leave this open for something like that or whether that should happen entirely external to the kakoune core project/repo anyway."}}
