Restructure and rewrite What is JSON Schema Page in the overview section of the documentation for clarity #670
Comments
Welcome to the JSON Schema Community. We are so excited you are here! Thanks a lot for reporting your first issue!! 🎉🎉 Please make sure to take a look to our contributors guide if you plan on opening a pull request. For more details check out README.md file. |
While I would agree with this in a formal tech doc like a spec, this is informal and should be inviting. I think the pronoun use is fine, but it should be consistent. |
What action? The user is reading docs. We (the author) aren't asking the reader to do anything. |
I think make the pronoun consistent will be a good addition. Using "You" is ok for me. Regarding moving the story of JSON Schema on top, we tried it but we decided to move it down because the goal of this page is understand the problem solved by JSON Schema and why both developers and organizations use it... We think is good information but not requires its own section as of now. Having said that, when we wrote this page I was convinced about the goal and structure but today I dont think the result is as good as I expected. My suggestion here is to change the objective of the issue to focus in the whole page and rewrite and restructure it for clarity. What is not working?

What Docs changes are you proposing?
After careful and detailed auditing, I found these problems in the documentation and require improvement.
The page What is JSON Schema under the overview section needs improvement in two areas:
Problem:
The History of JSON Schema is added at this page's end.
Solution:
With the knowledge of Information architecture, the History of JSON Schema should be placed at the beginning of the documentation or created on a separate page. This provides a good flow of information for readers.
See the highlighted image below:
2. Pronoun usage, active voice, and reduce redundancy.
Problem:
Third-person pronouns are not encouraged in writing technical documents unless in some special cases and depending on the context. This section used We to address the reader instead of You, which is the right pronoun to use when writing for your readers. The use of passive voice needs to be clarified for the reader about who is to perform an action.
Solution:
see the highlighted image below: there are other contents with this issue that require modification
