[DOCS] Create "Anatomy of HypEx"

Open tikhomirovd opened this issue 10 months ago • 0 comments

🚀 Feature Proposal

Create "Anatomy of HypEx" Documentation

Motivation

Currently, there is no high-level documentation explaining the internal structure of HypEx. New contributors may struggle to understand how different components interact. Creating a dedicated "Anatomy of HypEx" section will provide a clear overview of the system architecture, guiding contributors in understanding and extending the library effectively.

Feature Description

  • Develop a structured documentation page titled "Anatomy of HypEx".
  • Provide textual explanations of key components and their interactions.
  • Include system architecture diagrams illustrating dependencies and data flow.
  • Explain how modules, experiments, datasets, and utility functions connect.
  • Offer practical guidelines for contributors on where to start and best practices for modifying the codebase.

Potential Impacts

  • Improved onboarding experience for new contributors.
  • Better maintainability of the project by standardizing architectural knowledge.
  • Reduced learning curve, leading to more effective contributions.

Alternatives

  • Rely on in-code documentation alone (less structured and harder to grasp quickly).
  • Use external wiki pages instead of including it in the official documentation.

Additional Context

  • Use tools like Mermaid.js, PlantUML, or draw.io for generating architecture diagrams.
  • Ensure that the documentation is kept up to date with future changes in the codebase.
  • Consider integrating it into the Developer Guide section of the official documentation.

Checklist

  • [ ] Identify and document key components of HypEx.
  • [ ] Create architecture diagrams explaining interactions.
  • [ ] Write clear textual explanations for each section.
  • [ ] Add contributor guidelines and best practices.
  • [ ] Integrate into the official documentation.
  • [ ] Review and refine before publication.
