I'd like to propose a buffer page between the menu options and non-wiki
pages. Specifically GIT repositories and Installing. A couple reasons...
One it's unexpected, as conventionally links to outside pages are marked
as such in a wiki. Two: a wiki page between the menu and the external
page allows us to put some summary info to help ease the reader into the
bigger document and add useful tidbits (like the existance of denx)
Examples of buffer pages are at:
http://www.xenomai.org/index.php/Install_Xenomai
http://www.xenomai.org/index.php/GIT_repositories
Link them in (I don't have permission) if you agree.
The "getting started" page is unfinished (contains empty paragraphs),
and outdated (contains dead links and references to things like the
simulator which is currently not really usable) at the same time. I do
not believe we have the resources to maintain such a page up-to-date.
I think the getting started page is a nice little introduction. I've had
a pass at cleaning it up.

There's more that could be done but if it looks ok, consider linking to
it from the menu 'Start here'
It is sort of a replacement of "Start here", so, from my point of view,
it should be the "Start here" page, and also contain what the "Start
here" page contains (namely, the link to the "porting posix applications
to xenomai", and all the links to all the API documentation versions).
I see what you mean. The Documentation Summary (start here) is nicely
compact, I wouldn't want to ruin it. What about calling 'getting
started' 'beginners guide' and inserting a link to it between 'Start
here' and 'Installing'?
