+# Documentation Improvement Plan
+
+## Goals
+
+1. **Fix outdated and incorrect content** - Remove obsolete information
+2. **Fill documentation gaps** - Complete TODOs and missing sections
+3. **Improve discoverability** - Better structure and cross-references
+4. **Keep it concise** - No bloat, focus on value
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### Existing Documentation (~756 lines total)
+
+- `index.md` - Table of contents (33 lines)

 Further you need a [Python >=3.10 installation.](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/).
 
 Dependent on the topics and domains you use, you may need to install additional software, but this is no different from Linux/OSX.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### UV not found error
+
+If you get an error that UV is not found, install it. See the [official UV installation guide](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) for detailed instructions.
+
+```shell
+# Global installation (recommended)
+pip install uv
+
+# Or use the official installer
+curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
+```
+
+After installation, run `mxmake update` to regenerate the Makefile.
+
+### Python version mismatch
+
+If UV uses a different Python version than expected, explicitly set `UV_PYTHON` in your Makefile settings:
+
+```makefile
+UV_PYTHON?=3.14
+```
+
+Then run `make install` again.
+
+### Tests not running
+
+If `make test` fails with "command not found", ensure the test runner script was generated:
+
+```shell
+ls .mxmake/files/run-tests.sh
+```
+
+If missing, check that your `mx.ini` includes `mxmake-templates = run-tests` and run `make install` to regenerate files.
+
+### Make command not found
+
+On Ubuntu/Debian: `sudo apt install make`
+On macOS: Install Xcode Command Line Tools: `xcode-select --install`
+On Windows: See [installation instructions](https://gist.github.com/evanwill/0207876c3243bbb6863e65ec5dc3f058#make)
+
+### Settings not taking effect
+
+Settings are only applied when you explicitly set them. If a setting has `?=`, it uses the default unless overridden.
+
+Example: Change `PRIMARY_PYTHON?=python3.12` to `PRIMARY_PYTHON=python3.14` (remove the `?`) to force that value.
+
+Note that environment variables always override Makefile settings. Check if a setting is defined in your shell environment:
+
+```shell
+echo $PRIMARY_PYTHON
+```
+
+After changing settings, run `make install` to apply them.
+
+### Regenerating the Makefile
+
+To add or remove domains without interactive prompts, use:
+
+```shell
+mxmake update
+```
+
+This preserves your current settings and updates the Makefile logic. To start fresh interactively, use `mxmake init`.
+
+After upgrading mxmake to a newer version, run `mxmake update` to apply new features and improvements from the upgraded version.

+# Migration Guide
+
+This guide documents breaking changes between mxmake versions and how to migrate your projects.
+
+## Version 1.3.1 (unreleased)
+
+### Removed: MXENV_UV_GLOBAL setting
+
+**Breaking Change**: The `MXENV_UV_GLOBAL` setting has been removed. UV is now automatically detected.
+
+**Before (1.3.0 and earlier)**:
+```makefile
+PYTHON_PACKAGE_INSTALLER?=uv
+MXENV_UV_GLOBAL?=true
+```
+
+**After (1.3.1+)**:
+```makefile
+PYTHON_PACKAGE_INSTALLER?=uv
+UV_PYTHON?=3.14  # Optional: specify Python version for UV
+```
+
+**Migration**:
+- Remove the `MXENV_UV_GLOBAL` setting from your Makefile
+- If you need a specific Python version with UV, add the `UV_PYTHON` setting
+- UV will be auto-detected if installed globally, or installed locally in the virtual environment
+
+## Version 1.0a7
+
+### Renamed: npm domain to nodejs
+
+**Breaking Change**: The `npm` domain was renamed to `nodejs`.
+
+**Before**:
+```yaml
+topics:
+  js:
+    npm:
+```
+
+**After**:
+```yaml
+topics:
+  js:
+    nodejs:
+```
+
+**Migration**: Update your `mx.ini` or preseed files to use `nodejs` instead of `npm`.
+
+## Version 1.0a6
+
+### Dropped: Python 3.8 support
+
+**Breaking Change**: Minimum Python version changed from 3.7/3.8 to 3.9.
+
+**Migration**:
+- Ensure your project uses Python 3.9 or later
+- Update `PYTHON_MIN_VERSION` setting if needed:
+  ```makefile
+  PYTHON_MIN_VERSION?=3.9
+  ```
+
+## Version 1.0a4
+
+### Changed: Default venv folder
+
+**Breaking Change**: Default virtual environment folder changed from `venv` to `.venv`.
+
+**Before**:
+```makefile
+VENV_FOLDER?=venv
+```
+
+**After**:
+```makefile
+VENV_FOLDER?=.venv
+```
+
+**Migration**:
+- If you want to keep using `venv`, explicitly set `VENV_FOLDER=venv` in your Makefile
+- Or switch to `.venv` and update your `.gitignore` if needed
+
+### Renamed: PYTHON_BIN to PRIMARY_PYTHON
+
+**Breaking Change**: `PYTHON_BIN` setting renamed to `PRIMARY_PYTHON`.
+
+**Before**:
+```makefile
+PYTHON_BIN?=python3
+```
+
+**After**:
+```makefile
+PRIMARY_PYTHON?=python3
+```
+
+**Migration**: Update your Makefile to use `PRIMARY_PYTHON` instead of `PYTHON_BIN`.
+
+### Removed: MXENV_PATH
+
+**Breaking Change**: `MXENV_PATH` has been removed. Use `$(MXENV_PYTHON)` directly.
+
+**Migration**: If you have custom targets using `MXENV_PATH`, replace:
+- `$(MXENV_PATH)pip` → `$(MXENV_PYTHON) -m pip`
+- `$(MXENV_PATH)pytest` → `$(MXENV_PYTHON) -m pytest`
+
+## Version 1.0a1
+
+### Changed: Terminology (Semantic overhaul)
+
+**Breaking Change**: Terminology changes in custom domain development:
+- "Domains" are now called "Topics"
+- "Makefile" is now called "Domain"
+
+**Migration**:
+- This only affects custom domain development and plugin authoring
+- Update your documentation and code comments accordingly
+- The user-facing API remains the same
+
+### Renamed: _SENTINEL to _TARGET in domains
+
+**Breaking Change**: Internal variable naming in custom domains.
+
+**Migration**:
+- This only affects custom domain development
+- If you wrote custom domains, rename `*_SENTINEL` variables to `*_TARGET`
+- Example: `MYDOM_SENTINEL` → `MYDOM_TARGET`

 ### Templates defined via mx.ini with Jinja2
 
-```{todo}
-Contribute to this documentation!
+Some templates are configured and triggered via the `mx.ini` file. The most common example is test and coverage scripts.
+
+**Configuration in mx.ini**:
+
+```ini
+[settings]
+mxmake-templates =
+    run-tests
+    run-coverage
+
+# Optional: Configure template-specific settings

+- `run-coverage` - Generate coverage script
+- `pip-conf` - Generate pip configuration
+- `plone-site` - Generate Plone site creation script
+
+These templates are generated automatically when you run `make install` or `make mxfiles`.

 ### Templates based on Python code
 
-```{todo}
-Contribute to this documentation!
+For advanced use cases, you can create templates using Python code. This provides full control over template generation and allows integration with the mxmake/mxdev environment.

+from mxmake.templates import template, Template
+
+@template("my-template")
+class MyTemplate(Template):
+    description: str = "My custom template"
+    target_name: str = "output.txt"
+    template_name: str = "my-template.j2"
+    target_folder = Path("custom")
+
+    @property
+    def template_variables(self) -> dict:
+        return {
+            "project_name": "myproject",
+            "custom_value": "example"
+        }
 ```
+
+**Key components**:
+- `@template("name")` - Register the template with a unique name
+- `target_name` - Filename of the generated file
+- `template_name` - Name of the Jinja2 template file in `src/mxmake/templates/`
+- `template_variables` - Dictionary of variables available in the template
+- `target_folder` - Directory where the file will be generated
+
+**Using MxIniBoundTemplate** for mx.ini integration:
+
+```python
+from mxmake.templates import template, MxIniBoundTemplate
+
+@template("custom-conf")
+class CustomConf(MxIniBoundTemplate):
+    # Access mx.ini settings via self.settings
+    @property
+    def template_variables(self) -> dict:
+        return {
+            "packages": self.settings.get("main-package", "")
+        }
+```
+

-
-Configuration
--------------
-
-Additional project configuration is located in ``mx.ini``.
-
-Helper scripts are generated from templates which are defined in the
-``settings`` section the ini file:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-    [settings]
-    mxmake-templates = name1 name2
-
-Additional template related settings are defined in dedicated config sections
-named after ``mxmake-<templatename>``:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-    [mxmake-name1]
-    setting = value
-
-See :ref:`Templates` for documations about the available templates.
-
-See `here <https://github.com/mxstack/mxdev>`_ for more documentation
-about the ``mxdev`` config file.

-
-Templates
----------
-
-The following section describes the templates which can be build by ``mxmake``.
-
-.. _run-tests:
-
-run-tests
-~~~~~~~~~
-
-A script for running tests of python packages defined as ``mxdev`` sources. It
-utilizes ``zope-testrunner``, thus expects it to be installed.
-
-The generation target is ``scripts/run-tests.sh``.
-
-Invocation of the test run is done via `test` make target.
-
-Configuration looks like so:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-    [settings]
-    # tell mxmake to generate test script
-    mxmake-templates = run-tests
-
-    # optional system variables to set before running the tests
-    [mxmake-env]
-    ENVVAR = value
-
-    # test script related settings
-    [mxmake-run-tests]
-    # the section to use for environment variables
-    environment = env
-
-    # package related
-    [packagename]
-    # relative path to package checkout directory to search for tests
-    mxmake-test-path = src
-
-.. _run-coverage:
-
-run-coverage
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-A script for running coverage tests of python packages defined as ``mxdev``
-sources. It utilizes ``zope-testrunner`` and ``coverage``, thus expects these
-packages to be installed.
-
-The generation target is ``scripts/run-coverage.sh``.
-
-Invocation of the coverage run is done via `coverage` make target.
-
-Configuration looks like so:
-
-.. code-block:: ini
-
-    [settings]
-    # tell mxmake to generate coverage script
-    mxmake-templates = run-coverage
-
-    # optional system variables to set before running tests and coverage
-    [mxmake-env]
-    ENVVAR = value
-
-    # coverage script related settings
-    [mxmake-run-coverage]
-    # the section to use for environment variables
-    environment = env
-
-    # package related
-    [packagename]
-    # relative path to package checkout directory to search for tests
-    # also used by ``run-tests``
-    mxmake-test-path = src
-    # relative path(s) to package checkout directory to define coverage source path
-    mxmake-source-path = src/packagename
-    # relative path(s) to package checkout directory to define coverage omit path
-    mxmake-omit-path = src/packagename/file.py
