The short
answer is that there's just not enough potential contents for the
whole Learn page and menu.
The general format for the website, is for the main menu item page
to be a brief introduction to everything else in the menu. But if
we take away the tutorials, look at what's left in that section -
one sentence. I seem to recall we did try it without the
tutorials listed, but the page looked really sad....
What's wrong with a short introduction/overview page? The whole
point of giving an overview is to be concise, if the "overview" page
already has a lot of content it's likely some of the less noticeable
links to other menu items will be overlooked.
Duplicated content as we have now certainly can't be the solution as
it's a maintenance nightmare and unnecessary burden for translators
(case in point: I've never even thought to check for tutorial links
on the "Learn" page - who'd expect them there if we have a dedicated
"tutorials" page? - and that's the whole reason for the broken
links).
Except for the FAQ, which is a huge page, I'd probably be open to
condensing the entire Learn menu and its contents, into a single
page....maybe under Community? I've been wishing we could put the
Gallery as a main menu item, for a long time. And removing Learn
menu would allow for that. Maybe the FAQ could be a separate page
under Community??
I'd not do that for several reasons:
- Putting everything on one page is a mess and makes it hard for
users to find specific items.
- Community is unrelated to documentation. While the community
creates the documentation and certain tutorials it does not make
them a community feature like a gallery or a forum.
