Yes, the _pages_ must be rewritten and no there is no way that Xorg-7.0 is anywhere near ready for a quick release. Ag's suggestion of 10 pages, seems most sensible here, even though it doesn't follow the X developers' logical package types. I've disliked that layout since the first change made after the initial commit, and my dislike has only grown. I recently tried to organize and clarify it a bit better, but it's just not working for me.
It's a very hard job you've been attempting. I've kept away from the xorg-7 page through pure cowardice. I've built it several times (with the help of http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide, I based my script on xorg/util/modular/build.sh) but I don't really understand it. It's too complicated, like the nuclear power station in the bike shed analogy http://www.unixguide.net/freebsd/faq/16.19.shtml . Maybe if we split it up into ten pages we might start to get a grip on it. But how do you split up a nuclear power station?
