capabilities are unclear

[sils]

However, I must say that very critical info for first-time users is still unavailable or very vaguely documented. For example, I still have no clue what sort of analysis can be obtained from this page : https://github.com/coala-analyzer/coala-bears/wiki/Available.... I can see a bunch of Bears but that's your terminology. I would rather prefer a brief summary of the tool's analysis or atleast a link to the static analyzer which a specific bear wraps over. For e.g. "AlexBear" - I honestly have no clue what that or 90% of the other bears end up doing with my source code.

You have put so much effort in the implementation, please improve clarity/coverage of documentation.

Filed coala/coala-bears#332 about the bear-quality-offensive we have planned but not yet written down for this release.

Hey where exactly would you want this info about the bears? a gist or something?

[sils]

I have no idea, ideally coala-bears#332 would be done and then we'd generate a website from that or so :P

Actually yesterday night I thought about this, we can do it right now:

write a little python script that collects all bears and outputs all it's info as markdown, we use that to generate a neat website somewhere and link to that from our website

[Adrianzatreanu]

i'll do this tonight, i was just gathering info now :) if you want this to be done right away, please assign someone else

[sils]

no this is more of a long term thing actually but very important

[sils]

this got way better by now with the https://github.com/coala-analyzer/bear-docs

Closing issue in old repo.

I think https://coala.io/#/languages has mostly covered this, but it is still 'bear'-focused, so coala/landing-frontend#250 covers that problem.
