Fmriprep: Pare down top-level table-of-contents

Created on 6 Nov 2019  路  2Comments  路  Source: nipreps/fmriprep

Right now the top-level ToC is:

  • Installation
  • Usage Notes
  • Running fMRIPrep via Docker containers
  • Running fMRIPrep via Singularity containers
  • Processing pipeline details
  • Susceptibility Distortion Correction (SDC)
  • Outputs of fMRIPrep
  • Defining standard and nonstandard spaces where data will be resampled
  • FAQ, Tips, and Tricks
  • Contributing to FMRIPREP
  • Citing fMRIPrep
  • API
  • What鈥檚 new

This is a lot to look through, and a pretty serious mixing of broad categories and specific issues. This conversation began in #1802, which was an attempt to deal with a rash of permissions issues faced by Singularity users, mostly related to TemplateFlow. In https://github.com/poldracklab/fmriprep/pull/1802#issuecomment-538131273, it was decided to defer another round of reorganization until today.

I would propose the following top-level structure:

  • Installing and Running
  • Processing Pipeline Details
  • Inputs, Outputs and Templates
  • Contributing
  • Citing
  • FAQ
  • API

Specifically, in the previous issue I proposed the following:

I can flesh this out further in comments, but I want to start this conversation now.

I agree with this overall structure. :+1:

Side Note:
I think API has a lot of great information for users (the doc strings give good conceptual overviews of the workflows), but I'm afraid most will not think to look there (API connotes highly technical to me).

The solution I see would be to reference the API in other sections where appropriate to guide people to know how a workflow is constructed.
