I would like to propose some kind of initiation guide “for dummies” or non technical users, for people (as myself) who are really considering migrating to /e/ but have no tech-knowledge, to be released together with V1. This guide would include basic info (maybe video-tutorials too?) such as:
How to install /e/ (I know there is a wiki, but I miss a similar one for “dummies”)
How to do a backup of your current smartphone data
How to migrate and sync google contacts, mail, drive, calendar, notes… into /e/
And some other stuff you should consider basic for non geeks (suggestions welcome).
Thanks!
Hi @graz it is interesting that you should suggest this. We were planning on something similar. A set of [HOWTO]'s for /e/ users which will be non technical and easy to understand. You should see some of these articles in this section https://community.e.foundation/c/e-user-support/use-e - more will be added over the coming days.
Hi @Manoj thanks for your reply. Yes, it would be similar to the [HOWTO] articles you mention, but all compiled into one document/place [STARTING GUIDE], so first-time users don’t have to look for each one the steps individually on the forum in order to get /e/ properly working with the basic stuff (mail, calendar, contacts…).
Agreed they should be in one place in a systematic manner. Will see how that can be figured out efficiently so that user does not have to search all over the place.
