And add:

• working with envvars (libelektra-getenv) @omnidan

[omnidan]

I would like to add envvars as a short example directly in the Usage section. (instead of the current example which isn't all that useful) Then we could link to a separate page which explains it further.

[markus2330]

@omnidan nice, maybe it can be used for release notes, too

[petermax2]

are you working on this?

@markus2330 yes I was going to!

[markus2330]

was going to OR am going to?

Manuel already has finished his MinGW task. I hope #273 gets resolved soon too. Every push request for improvement of docu received before #273 is resolved, can make it into the release.

[petermax2]

Alright, I hope I get it done by the end of the day.

@markus2330 how would a tutorial about namespaces differ from doc/NAMESPACES.md?

[petermax2]

My pull request #285 has been merged.

[markus2330]

Yes, I forgot to mark this issue here.

[markus2330]

Still open is:

• get started with python/lua/java/c++
• get started with spec+metadata (link to doc/METADATA.ini)
• get started with envvars (libelektra-getenv) @omnidan
• get started with some plugins?

[omnidan]

get started with envvars is done in the main README.md with a link to more information
