[DOCS] Create "Anatomy of HypEx"
🚀 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.
