I am curious to understand what content the topic Command-line would contain.
Would it be helpful to start adding brief descriptions/outline to each of these topics For example, As a developer, I would love if the topic Why Automate could talk about the following sub-topics.
Not sure whether this is the best approach.
I believe the command-line content would aim to ease worries of front-end developers who might be intimidated by command-line interfaces. I think that is probably the biggest opponent for these tools - just educating and building developers confidence so that they can comfortably use CLIs and not rely on a GUI for everything.
:+1: Think this looks good for V1. Also think @travm is spot on with his comments.
Exactly what @travm said. Fear of the command-line is a big barrier to newcomers getting started with these tools. We need a strong intro that walks them through how straight-forward it can be and summarises the many advantages it offers.
Sounds perfect, thanks for the clarification.
I've been revising the list of chapters in our readme to include a few additions that were requested. I think we should now have a solid final list that we can tackle.
Also happy to share that we've got confirmed authors for most sections now too. Exciting times :)
What do you think about having a section in "Scaffolding" and "Dependency Management" explaining why those things are important?
Or questions like
"Why should I use Yeoman or any other tool to scaffold my projects? Why not forking a repository instead?"
and
"Why should I use a dependency management tool instead of including third-party projects manually?"
are going to be answered in "Why automate?"?
Why are CommonJS-bundlers like browserify and webpack under "Dependency Management"? Imho this chapter should just include package managers and link to those bundlers.
@zenorocha these are important questions! Should definitely be answered somewhere.
More than welcome PRs to include them :)

P.S. and what about jspm http://jspm.io/?

Currently in the index we have:
We'll want to revise this with the structure we've been discussing over in #9 so that it's clear to contributors what we'd love to have covered.
