I'm still confused as to why it isn't possible to read the DocumentationIndex "linearly". Table of Contents * Beginner Topics for Creating/Editing Pages * Intermediate Editing Topics * Wiki Structures: Organizing and Protecting Pages * PmWiki Site Administration * About PmWiki Wouldn't one just start with the Beginner topics, go on to the Intermediate topics, and so on? What is *wrong* with it? Are the Beginner topics too advanced? Conversely, is there a lack of "advanced" topics? Or is it that it is more of a reference than a tutorial?
