Newcomer flow

[patrick-g-h]

With the constantly growing number of resources about BIDS, I thought it would be useful to organise the "flow" that we expect newcomers to follow -- starting from Googling "what is BIDS" to finding their answer.

This is just a rough skeleton so far, but happy to hear any input related to this!

Nice, maybe note the extensions somewhere?

@dorahermes - I don't think the extensions are high priority for newcomers... I do think they should be mentioned in the wiki but if they fit into this image they should be pretty far down.

@Park-Patrick - I think this is great - I wonder if you could make a little video of the pathway??

What are your thoughts about extending the picture? I feel like you could add more details but it might become this super overwhelming image??

If you did add I think these would be sensible:

• How to ask a question (or check where questions have already been asked)
  • Could be nested in the README
• How to contribute
  • Could be nested in README
• A "table of contents" for the wiki so its clear what the wiki contains

And then going further (linking to @dorahermes' suggestion):

• BIDS Apps
• Extensions

[dorahermes]

+1 on extensions pretty far down and keeping this as high level as possible.

Examples, however, are one of the first things I point people to?

Just to clarify: is this what we think users are doing or what we would like users to do?

[KirstieJane]

@chrisfilo - I guess a realistic combination of the two!!

Can you expand on how the two options are different? What should we be considering?

OK I think this is now become obsolete or a new flow within the website should be reimagined.
