Overview

This PR addresses the issue "Document the Wiki page" by fixing broken links in the README and creating a comprehensive Wiki Home page with proper navigation to all existing documentation.

Problems Fixed

1. Broken and Incorrect README Links

The README had several issues that made Wiki documentation difficult to access:

  • Broken URL: The "Using ICESEE" link contained a typo (https:https://github.com/...) causing 404 errors
  • Wrong Page Numbers: Wiki page references were off by one (page 3 linked to page 4 content, page 4 linked to page 5)
  • Missing Content: The comprehensive "Guide to Integrating Models" (page 3) was not referenced anywhere
  • Vague Documentation Section: Generic bullet points didn't link to specific pages

2. Sparse Wiki Home Page

The Wiki Home page contained only 3 lines of introductory text with no navigation, making it impossible to discover the 9 existing Wiki pages without manually exploring.

Solution

README.md Improvements

Fixed Links:

- [Using ICESEE](https:https://github.com/ICESEE-project/ICESEE/wiki/2.-Usage)
+ [Using ICESEE](https://github.com/ICESEE-project/ICESEE/wiki/2.-Usage)

- [Build ICESEE as a package](https://github.com/ICESEE-project/ICESEE/wiki/3.-Build-ICESEE-as-a-package)
+ [Build ICESEE as a Package](https://github.com/ICESEE-project/ICESEE/wiki/4.-Build-ICESEE-as-a-package)

- [Developmental notes](https://github.com/ICESEE-project/ICESEE/wiki/4.-Development-Notes)
+ [Development Notes](https://github.com/ICESEE-project/ICESEE/wiki/5.-Development-Notes)

Added Missing References:

  • Guide to Integrating Models (page 3)
  • Common Issues and Solutions (page 6)
  • Configuration Flags documentation

Enhanced Documentation Section:

  • Made "Wiki" text a clickable link to the main Wiki page
  • Converted generic bullets to specific links with descriptions
  • Added context for each documentation page

Comprehensive Wiki Home Page

Created a new 100-line Wiki Home page (in .github/wiki-updates/Home.md) featuring:

  • 📚 Documentation Overview: Clear explanation of available resources
  • 🚀 Quick Start: 3-step path for new users (Install → Usage → Configuration)
  • 📖 User Guides: Installation, usage, and building instructions
  • 🔧 Developer Guides: Model integration and development best practices
  • 🖥️ Platform-Specific: macOS ISSM installation guides
  • 🎯 Key Features: Highlights of ICESEE capabilities (EnKF variants, MPI support, supported models)
  • 🔗 External Resources: Links to repository, README, and configuration docs
  • 💬 Getting Help: Support channels and contribution guidelines
  • 📋 Wiki Contents: Complete index of all 9 Wiki pages

Validation

✅ All links verified:

  • 10 Wiki links in README.md - all valid
  • 18 Wiki page references in Home.md - all valid
  • config/README.md reference - valid

✅ Minimal changes:

  • Only 1 existing file modified (README.md: +11, -8 lines)
  • All new content isolated in .github/wiki-updates/

Impact

Immediate Benefits (from README fixes)

  • Users can now access all linked Wiki pages without errors
  • Primary documentation pages are properly discoverable
  • Better user experience for newcomers

After Wiki Update (see below)

  • 100% Wiki page coverage with full navigation
  • Professional documentation hub for ICESEE
  • Clear pathways for users, developers, and contributors
  • Easy discovery of all features and guides

Manual Step Required

Since GitHub Wikis are stored in a separate Git repository, the new Home.md needs to be manually applied. This takes ~2 minutes:

Via Web Interface (easiest):

  1. Go to https://github.com/ICESEE-project/ICESEE/wiki/Home/_edit
  2. Copy content from .github/wiki-updates/Home.md
  3. Paste and save

Via Git:

git clone https://github.com/ICESEE-project/ICESEE.wiki.git
cd ICESEE.wiki
cp /path/to/main/repo/.github/wiki-updates/Home.md ./Home.md
git add Home.md
git commit -m "Update Home page with comprehensive navigation"
git push

See .github/wiki-updates/ACTION_REQUIRED.md for detailed instructions.
