scripts/README_NBA_LOGOS.md
- "python download_nba_logos.py" — wrong on two counts. The script
is at scripts/download_nba_logos.py (not the project root), and
"python" is Python 2 on most systems. Replaced all 4 occurrences
with "python3 scripts/download_nba_logos.py".
- The doc framed itself as the way to set up "the NBA leaderboard".
The basketball/leaderboard functionality is now in the
basketball-scoreboard and ledmatrix-leaderboard plugins (in the
ledmatrix-plugins repo), which auto-download logos on first run.
Reframed the script as a pre-population utility for offline / dev
use cases.
- Bumped the documented Python minimum from 3.7 to 3.9 to match
the rest of the project.
docs/PLUGIN_CONFIGURATION_GUIDE.md
- The "Plugin Manifest" example was missing 3 fields the plugin
loader actually requires: id, entry_point, and class_name. A
contributor copying this manifest verbatim would get
PluginError("No class_name in manifest") at load time — the same
loader bug already found in stock-news. Added all three.
- The same example showed config_schema as an inline object. The
loader expects config_schema to be a file path string (e.g.
"config_schema.json") with the actual schema in a separate JSON
file — verified earlier in this audit. Fixed.
- Added a paragraph explaining the loader's required fields and
the case-sensitivity rule on class_name (the bug that broke
hello-world's manifest before this PR fixed it).
- "Plugin Manager Class" example had the wrong constructor
signature: (config, display_manager, cache_manager, font_manager).
The real BasePlugin.__init__ at base_plugin.py:53-60 takes
(plugin_id, config, display_manager, cache_manager, plugin_manager).
A copy-pasted example would TypeError on instantiation. Fixed,
including a comment noting which attributes BasePlugin sets up.
- Renamed the example class from MyPluginManager to MyPlugin to
match the project convention (XxxPlugin / XxxScoreboardPlugin
in actual plugins).

Archive
docs/archive/ holds older guides that have been superseded or describe
features that have been removed. They are kept for historical context and
git history but should not be relied on.
Contributing to the docs
- Markdown only, professional tone, minimal emoji.
- Prefer adding to an existing page over creating a new one. If you add a new page, link it from this index in the section it belongs to.
- If a page becomes obsolete, move it to
docs/archive/rather than deleting it, so links don't rot. - Keep examples runnable — paths, commands, and config keys here should match what's actually in the repo.
