More precise critique is always welcome. You already suggested to link certain elements to turtle online documentation (which has to be written). This is a good suggestion and it will come (however, I would like to couple this with a texinfo user manual, so this particular item will take some time). For now I have taken a straightforward approach to map the database content to a tree of web pages; short cuts, summaries and wrappers around internal symbols like "install_source" are only slowly being added as needed. I rely on users input (most of the recent improvements are due to Jeffs feature requests) to improve the web page: I am currently much to deep in the code to even notice any shortcomings right now.
