Enhanced Intro to Add-ons: please test it

Post #1by selden » 08.10.2003, 01:55

I've added a new "section 3" to addon-intro and I'd like someone other than myself to try it out.

Please take a look at http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/addon-intro3.html#3 and try following its instructions. Let me know what you do or don't like about it.

Once it's OK, I'll make this "3rd edition" become the default.

Thanks!
Selden

Good one Selden
I had a look over it and it looks easy enough for mewbies to understand.

One thing though.
Where you have the text example of the zip and folder layouts.
you might want to change those to a small screen shot example.
just to make those easier to understand.

I remember a time when I would have looked at that
and said "WHAT!" :lol:
CPU- Intel Pentium Core 2 Quad ,2.40GHz
RAM- 2Gb 1066MHz DDR2
Motherboard- Gigabyte P35 DQ6
Video Card- Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS + 640Mb
Hard Drives- 2 SATA Raptor 10000rpm 150GB
OS- Windows Vista Home Premium 32

Paul,

I do believe you're right about it needing screengrabs instead of textual approximations. Soon.
