Problems
Why is the documentation using GitHub Wiki instead
of a
Documentation
folder when:It's a lot more difficult to contribute to GitHub Wikis
It's problematic to change links
For example changing a page name / url in the wiki
or file in the repo requires two separate changes in
each of them.
It doesn't allow for shorter relative links
that also work on locally cloned version
You always have to specify absolute
links to resources from the repo.
It doesn't allow for folder structures,
making it messy.
Solution
A simple
/Documentation/
folder in the repo.Doesn't make the root folder substantially longer.
Additionally the content can be sorted into
subfolders such as
/Install/

In subsequent PRs I would like to address more
content oriented changes like rewording / rewriting
