Description

https://jasmine.github.io/1.3/introduction

In version 1.x the documentation was very straightforward for getting started. I'd had another developer ask me how to write Jasmine, and I'd asked what they meant as the getting started guide was very clear last time I read it. I tried finding that information on the new site just to see what they meant.

I was expecting the getting started link to provide something like the introduction in 1.3, but ended up with a lot of "how to get started in x". This is useful, but I couldn't find a general "how to write jasmine" section from there.

Perhaps I was looking in the wrong place, but I feel that the site should be organized to expose this information more immediately.

Research direction

Compare the current getting-started documentation with the linked Jasmine 1.3 introduction to identify where general guidance is missing or hard to find. Reorganize or add the documentation so a reader can reach a general “how to write Jasmine” guide immediately, while retaining the useful platform-specific guidance.
