This is very much WIP. Gone out a bit on a limb here in introducing a new
term LPI just to make it possible to explain the idea of interfaces and
plugins. Not sure if it really works though. The real test is, of course,
if it makes sense to someone reading this; or is just a load of jibberish!
The ping-pong continues: this is, yet again, another attempt
to tighten up the text on 'professionalism'.
As ever, corrections, suggestions, etc most welcome.
isn't actually *being subject to* a wider goal
or an inner demand -- isn't that exactly the core
of the distinction between "professionality"
as opposed to an attitude of someone "just doing his job"?
No problem if changes/questions are done to this section. As this section is
so important, the reviewer may correct, add or even reject the corrections
here.
We'll get there, iteratively.
Some obvious typos were corrected. Other material improved.
The section on Git was considerably improved.
An entirely new section on Git was added, but which contains some previous
material on git.
The reason for adding a new section on Git was I though it better to have one
single place where someone new to Git and Lumiera could read a simple
recipe-type explanation on how to retrieve source code, make changes and then
push the changes. All information necessary including Git, links, etc should be
on this page, no following liknks. In fact there is no real _new_ information
here that isn't to be found somewhere else. The point being that _all_
information necessary to ge someone up and going is located on one page.
For this reason, I added information on the mailing list and IRC; again, all
essential information in how to contribute to Lumiera, the title ang goal of
this page.
There might be stuff missing here, so please add, but do not make this page too
long. That tends to scare people, in fact, someone might just like to shorten my
contributions here, that would be good!
TODO: Backend, needs just a little more, not much, e.g.:
Area where low-level memory, hardware i/o, etc occur => here
is where real gain in efficiency through modern algorithms can occur,
thus, achieving another goal of Lumiera: efficient & runs on all kinds
of hardware!
this is the entry point into the section holding the various
design documents -- we try to separatte conceptual/design
from the actual technical documentation

Only just language corrections.
Reviewer might like to examine the following sections: Overview and GUI.

No rewrite of sections, only the language was corrected. Only very
little rewriting, although some sections might be rewritten and improved
later.
A slight note on style: after a colon (i.e., ':') upper case or lower case
can follow. Both are corrected. To be consistent, I changed all to be the same,
i.e., lower case.

- spell check
- fixed formatting
- added grouping lanes (comments)
- flipped all the cross reference arrows
- removed some of the (resolved) TODO comments
- removed some planned sections, since these are rather technical
