Re: Guide: Installing SageTV V7
[quote=”evilpenguin”]
I’d say my concern is more with the structure of the guide. The way you sandwich optional customizations between important steps will be confusing to newbies who will follow this guide word-for-word for their first setup. Maybe just move all the customization stuff (Plugins + Hidden extras) to its own section at the end and include the relevant links to the plugin threads.
“Now that you’ve got your base Sage setup and running, here are some customization/enhancments that I enjoy that you might want to explore”…

I see plugins and properties section as a good grouping of “optional changes that makes the experience better”.
There are many different ways to organize flow; like grouping by goal (i.e. enabling HD audio) instead of linearly. While I can see your point, it also creates a lot of redundancy. Instead of grouping by task I made a point of outlining the purpose of each step while following a linear workplan to completion so readers [that read and process the information] could determine relevancy and act accordingly.
