Proposal for reshaping Launch tutorials about ros2_documentation HOT 4 OPEN

I also figured that I could also pose this question on discourse as well, such that more people can get their input on this

So, in short, I totally agree with you that we need to revamp the Launch tutorials. I actually had a long conversation about this with @hidmic over at #3950 .

That said, your project seems much more manageable. So I think that it is worthwhile to pursue what you outline above, at least as some improvement to the current situation.

Ah oke! I searched on issues if there was any open about the launch documentation but I didn't search in PRs so thanks for letting me know. A quick look it seems that it's just about the user-guides and the concept documentation, so it's not like we are cutting each-others fingers if we merge both.

But now that I know that this is considered a good idea I'll get started on it! Once I got a draft, perhaps I can use discourse to get some testers on this new documentation as it is a big project and I'm sure mistakes will be maken.

Also another improvement we can make: TF2 tutorials should happen before the launch tutorials. This was probably done to explain the launch examples of TF2, but currently, the launch tutorials contain way more transform broadcast examples which the users are experiencing at the first time. Perhaps to help with this, we can make write a very simple 'beginner launch tutorial' for the beginner tutorials to get people acquainted with the concept more earlier on
