Overview

This is a tracking issue for comprehensive documentation improvements across Gator. The current documentation is minimal, and we need to expand it to help users/developers/contributors better understand and use the project.

Current State

What We Have

• ✅ Basic README with installation and quick start
• ✅ CONTRIBUTING.md with development setup
• ✅ RELEASE.md with release process
• ✅ Swagger/OpenAPI spec for REST API
• ✅ Minimal Sphinx documentation skeleton
• ✅ Package-level README files (minimal)

What's Missing

• ❌ Comprehensive user guide
• ❌ Feature documentation with examples
• ❌ Developer/architecture documentation
• ❌ API documentation (Python and TypeScript)
• ❌ Troubleshooting and FAQ
• ❌ Integration guides
• ❌ Visual documentation (diagrams, screenshots, videos)

🚧 Work-in-Progress Features (Need Documentation)

Note: There are significant UI improvements in development that will need documentation when merged. These include:

• Package drawer for adding packages
• Enhanced environment creation with templates
• Channel prioritization in the UI
• Version selection improvements
• Package sorting and filtering
• ....
