New Solutions Section of the docs

We’ve launched a new Solutions section of the documentation as your feedback in our survey was that you wanted more worked examples. You also wanted to be able to contribute – so we’ve enabled that too!

Two of the things that we discovered through our recent survey (which is still running, if you would like to add your thoughts) was that many of you wanted to see more worked examples of how to use Perch, and that a significant number of you would like a way to contribute examples from your own workflow.

When we made the recent changes to improve the documentation architecture and search we left the Solutions section as we didn’t know how best to take it forward. Your suggestions in the survey helped us form a plan.

So today the new Solutions section is live, it encompasses the content that was there previously and we’ve written over 20 new solutions in the last couple of days to get this improved section started.

The content for this new section starts life on Github as a set of Markdown files, and this makes it really easy for you to contribute. You can fork that repository, write your own Solutions and then submit a Pull request for us to include them.

We’d particularly love to see examples of how you use Perch with other things – such as jQuery plugins and so on. The best solutions come from the problems solved during the building of real sites. So whether you have some really simple tips, or examples of how you integrate Perch with another framework, we would love to see them.
