Explanation about conda package.

Open Uma-95 opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Where should the content be added?

https://conda-forge.org/docs/user/introduction.html (A brief introduction)

What should be added?

The Brief Introduction page is mostly about the what and why of the conda-forge community. A beginner might not really get it when he/she reads the word "Conda packages" for the first time. Explanation in a line or two about what a conda package is would be helpful for beginners. This is my suggestion. Can I please work on this? @beckermr @kathatherine

@Uma-95 There is a glossary page somewhere. It might be useful to update that and then link it to the introduction in some way. Issue #1293 would then be related to this one.

@kathatherine @beckermr I added some new terms to the glossary and linked them to the introduction page. https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/pull/1696/commits/a288ad2b088f0502334ee3cf2c453065a231b8b5 https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/pull/1696/commits/704974b62f05e297c5ebc518ba045feda717f438 Kindly review.
