Internal Notes for Reviewers

For sc-5612, I decided to ask for forgiveness rather than permission 😆

New variable convention

While reading through more of their docs, I realised that Quarto actually has an option for grouping variables: 1 level nested arrays!

See new file: https://github.com/validmind/documentation/blob/beck/sc-5612/update-variable-naming-conventions/site/_variables.yml

Updates to CONFIGURATION pages

Log into ValidMind

  • I changed this to Log in to ValidMind, as the convention around log in (the verb) and login (the noun) is always "log in," and not "log into."
  • I also added a variable back in for this to link to this corrected page on instructions.
  • I moved this OUT of "Managing your organization," as this is actually the first step to getting anywhere in the platform.
  • There is now also a "What's next" section, directing you to organization setup, user management, and profile viewing

Is it weird that I was reading through the Quarto docs over the holidays and ran across the same page for variable arrays? They remind me of the compound or stemmed variables I used when I worked on IBM z/OS mainframes many, many years ago.

This PR is a great thing, my only comment is around the variables for Google's Private Service Connect. Not sure if you want to discuss further?

I changed this to Log in to ValidMind, as the convention around log in (the verb) and login (the noun) is always "log in," and not "log into."

One postscript on this, though the upshot is that I don't actually mind either way: "Log in" is the the verb form, true, but both "log in to" and "log into" are valid if slightly different grammatical constructions. In a previous role, we had a huge discussion about the difference among the writers — I tend to err on the side of simplicity and typically have used "log into" but this comment is a good summary of why either works.
