Google does the indexing for us. If Yossie can do the url rewriting in a few minutes, I think it's worth doing. As the doc effort comes up with better technologies for indexing and searching the docs, we can replace or augment these simple google tricks.

There's a lot of traffic on the forums where one person says, "I can't find documentation on xxx" and then someone else says "here's a link to the docs you need" or "here's a google search that will give you the docs you need." Constructing the right google search is a learned skill and requires knowledge of where the right content lives.

We should also have better searching of the demos and examples... not everyone has
$ grep onclick `find demos -name *.lzx`
hard-wired into their fingertips.

In theory, the new tools will give us many better options for indexing and sorting and accessing the content. Please stay tuned for some ideas from me/Jim/Raju on how to best structure this. . . Your ideas would mesh nicely, I think.

I always struggle to remember the url to the laszlo documentation that I want to get to. Wouldn't it be fantastic to have docs.openlaszlo.org always point to the latest doc? and, docs.openlaszlo.org/<version> always point to the docs for that version? and -- docs.openlaszlo.org/search/<searchstring> return the search results for that text? And maybe also, reference.openlaszlo.org always point to the reference?

I bet that our masters of mod_jk and mod_rewrite can make all of this happen!
