Some background for what's worth:

- In the previous wiki style things were just too disconnected. Works
fine for wikipedia but not for something that might need to have a
reading order
- There was an attempt to keep each article on the new format very
short. This is pure usability. If people see a long scroll they feel
it's gonna take too much time to read and leave. This is especially
true for the getting started sections
- The format and organization was inspired by apache httpd documentation
- Keeping documentation for older versions was also inspired by the
apache httpd documentation and a book suggested this approach as well.
I think the book was "Producing Open Source Software"
- I sincerely dislike the docbook style, but I'm willing to give it a
try. Never really liked the way NHibernate and Spring are documented.
- The anakia style is also an attempt to keep formatting/layout
separated from the docs. I think that was successful, but it does make
contribution more difficult.
