Thank you for both nice answers. I definitely must be tired.
Maybe, but I think we have a real problem.
Or maybe for a person knowing where to go it is obvious, but not for the other people,
Yeah, I think the current organization is pretty confusing. I suggest one top-level link:
Documentation - points to complete docs for latest release
A link to the up-to-date docs for the CVS should be hidden away (slightly) on the page targeted by the above link. It could be either:
Generated Docs (Nightly Build) - points to subset of docs that are generated from boostbook sources, with a clear note at the top of the link's target page saying that it's only a subset of the complete docs
or, better:
Nightly CVS docs - Integrates the boostbook docs rebuilt nightly with a the docs that are stored in CVS as HTML, yielding a page with the same format as the "Documentation" page. The non-boostbook docs can be acquired via nightly download or simply linked-to using CVSWeb.
Although I elsewhere and severally retracted my original comments as being slightly to the left of reality, I think the organization you suggest is somewhat better than the existing one. So one person throws his nickle on the grass for this one, in any event. Reid
