Tim Abbott 4f628fd945 docs: Discuss replacing memcached with redis more clearly.
This is a common question we get in architecture discussions.

Ben Muschol d526ff00f2 settings: Rename "user avatar" to "profile picture"
This renames references to user avatars, bot avatars, or organization
icons to profile pictures. The string in the UI are updated,
in addition to the help files, comments, and documentation. Actual
variable/function names, changelog entries, routes, and s3 buckets are
left as-is in order to avoid introducing bugs.

Fixes #11824.

Tim Abbott cfbe316215 version: Update version and changelog for Zulip 2.0.2 release. 2019-03-15 12:25:50 -07:00
AsociTon 87f7a578e6 docs: Document a Windows GitHub Desktop bug.
Add the recommendation in docs for not using GitHub Desktop client for
zulip code as it has a bug of keeping the symlinks disabled and ignoring
any configuration done to re-enable it resulting into failure to identify
the received symlinks leading to failing test cases in the zulip development
environment.

Tim Abbott 0a17a2acaa docs: Recommend using an SSD for the Zulip database.

but not everyone has.

Tim Abbott fac875a922 docs: Eliminate most development manual install docs.
This documentation had a tendency to bitrot, and in any case now that
we have tooling for doing Fedora (etc.) from provision, it's likely
the case that adding other Linux/UNIX distros we care about to
provision would not be difficult and is a better path than maintaining
this manually-curated duplicate of `tools/provision`.

Further, even if this documentation was maintained, one would still
end up wanting to run `provision` after rebasing a branch, so it was
never particularly practical for extended development.

Mayank Madan 264c2e9803 provision: Add provision support for Ubuntu 18.10.
Note that this is only support for Ubuntu 18.10 in the development
environment.

Tim Abbott 625c4aaca8 docs: Update recommendations on Vagrant version.
The history of this was that there was a period where half of Vagrant
releases were broken (for everyone, e.g. downloading a base container
didn't work).  It seems Vagrant has cleaned up their act at this point.

We really just want 2.0.x, not a specific version, and the direct
links we had are now quite old.

Thanks to Jonathon Hinchley for reporting this.

Fixes #11836.

Priyanshu Singh 61c0796025 docs: Document how to handle Hyper-V provisioning errors.

Rishi Gupta d833c70dc7 org settings: Explain Zoom support is experimental, and fix a few strings.
Visually, #zoom_help_text acts like
.organization-settings-parent div:first-of-type when the Zoom option
is selected, but isn't treated as such.

No visual change with the #google_hangouts_domain change; just there to make
the code more readable/defensible.
