Hi, I have now converted Java SCA and SDO to the new navigation style mentioned in this thread.
I'll be working on the other subprojects next. If possible, give me till Tuesday afternoon to clean up the navigation since this is all real time and we can easily walk over each other's work. I'll document the tree structure after it is done so that we can follow the same structure from there on or at least make decisions based on a known structure. As part of this exercise I realized that we have no structure in place and pages are being added at different levels and it is really not easy for someone new to come and find information or to maintain it properly. Thanks for your patience. Haleh On 6/1/07, haleh mahbod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I don't see a difference and in fact it is more work. In today's mode: you update one page. a) update Latest release b) move the old release to previous releases. (Note: I think previous releases should be on the same page). In your proposal: Have a page for each release and then link it back to latest releases page. Are we making this too complicated? My preference would be to convert the table we currently have into something readable that has a link to readme for the release on the same page. I'll add a sample to the page so we can take a look.
