> I've figured out why I have generally been confused about Etoile; every time
> I visited the web site, I ran into "wrong" things :-)
>
> For example, I read the Overview, but I never randomly ran into how to
> actually get Etoile, or how a developer should use it. This may be because
> Development information is stored under Support. That's something that
> reminds me of Contact, Forums, and other discussion, support and selfsupport
> materials. It doesn't really make me think it could contain information for
> developers :-)
>
> Similar with Installation instructions. Link to that is placed under
> Downloads, which does make sense (after downloading, one usually wants to
> install software). However, I never ran into it because it's placed on the
> right side, which is, in other places on the site, blank. Links are also
> small, which made my brain consider them irrelevant and thus hard to notice.
>
> They're also put under Development. For some reason, I thought that refers to
> "How to develop Etoile" instead of "How to develop with Etoile".

> Since these things are immensely important, how about structuring the web
> site menu like this?
> Overview
> Downloads
> News
> Documentation
> link to Installation
> links to various manuals
> (in short, most of the stuff currently under Development on the right side)
> Contributing
> most of the stuff currently under Development on the left side
> Support
> just the contact information
> I'd also avoid using the menu on the right side a bit. It's rather hard to
> notice the way it's implemented :-)

> I just have a "feeling" this might work out better. Who knows -- maybe you'll
> agree :-)
