Acorn System Documentation: What is it? How does it work? How do you get started?

Please provide information and links about base systems.

• What is it?
  • Open Source libraries and components which provide a foundation for building complex data driven systems and websites.
  • Example marketing page: Adobe Experience Manager (and Cloud).
• How does it work?
  • Django, Wagtail, Saleor: combine best-in-class application platform, CMS, and e-commerce engine into a single integrated whole.
• How do you get started?
  • Docker container: take Acorn for a test drive
  • Developer quickstart:
    • What are you trying to do?
      • Luxury: already integrated website based on Foundation for Sites ready to roll-out today in support of web and headless content needs
      • Custom: core system of integrated components ready for you to begin building a headless website on your framework of choice
      • Base: integrated set of components to allow you to get started building data driven applications

Next-steps:

• Acorn website: targeted at a general audience (users, decision makers, and developers) which explain the features of the platform.
• Developer documentation: description of patterns and components to allow people to get up and running.
• Tutorials: descriptive walk-through articles aimed at developers to help provide context of the patterns and architecture of the code. Aimed at developers who would like to utilize Acorn to build new systems.
