namusyaka/padrino-docs

This repo holds the written content for the Padrino web framework's official website. Padrino itself is a tool built on top of Ruby that helps developers create web applications faster than writing everything from scratch. Instead of containing the actual software code, this particular repository stores the words you read on the site, the documentation pages, blog posts, and step-by-step guides that help people learn and use the framework. The way it works is straightforward. Every page on the official Padrino site is written in a plain-text formatting language called Markdown, specifically the flavor that GitHub uses. Markdown lets you add basic styling like headings, links, and bold text using simple keyboard symbols rather than a complex word processor. When someone makes a change to these text files and merges them in, the public website gets updated with the new content. Contributors need to follow two simple rules: save files as UTF-8 text and keep lines under 110 characters wide. Anyone can use this. The repository is explicitly open for anyone to fork, meaning you can grab a personal copy, fix a typo, improve a confusing explanation, or add a translation into another language. The audience is a mix of developers writing documentation and people who spot errors while reading. If a guide confused you and you know how to fix it, you can make that correction and submit it. There is not much else to the project. The README doesn't go into detail about how the website itself is built or how content gets from the files to the live page. It is essentially a community-editable library of help documents, kept simple so that contributing requires nothing more than a text editor and basic familiarity with formatting syntax.
