Cool. I think this is a good idea. In my original proposal: "* The documentation is a big list of links. I think we should categorise them by topic instead of type, or perhaps as Jesse suggests we should have a cross reference/index - so we could have a page that lists all the howtos and guides, then another that lists the docs related to artifacts, plugins, etc."
These seem like good starts at the type of alternate indices I was thinking of. Would you mind capturing these in a JIRA item? - Brett Piéroni Raphaël wrote: > It aims to be a page or a couple of pages. > > I don't have clear idea on it. > > yesterday i wrote it in two pages : a main page with sample doco and an > advanced page with an exhautive doco (not in my sample be should be) > > But i think it is not a navigation. > > Raphaël > > 2006/3/10, Brett Porter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> Thanks for attempting this. >> >> IS this intended to be a navigation, a page, a series of pages?
