I'd really rather not let this drop. There's a real need for better
discoverability of the documentation, as evidenced by the +1s on this
thread.
How do we keep forward momentum? Who can make this change? I'd be
happy to drive this, but AFAIK I don't have the power to actually make
anything happen on that page.

What's the proposal exactly?
* A link to reference documentation on the front page of http://chandlerproject.org
. In this case, I want something that will take me to a page that
has a link to "Server Administrator Documentation." In the future,
however, I'll very likely want a link to a page that has a link to
"Chandler Desktop Documentation." "Chandler Desktop Documentation"
would be a table of contents that I can navigate to find out how
feature X works (from an end-user perspective) without a whole lot
of handholding.
So something like:
Report a Bug
Project Wiki
Documentation
where "Documentation" goes to:
-------
Chandler Project Documentation
Chandler Desktop Documentation
Chandler Server Documentation
Chandler Hub Documentation
--------
And each of these links go to Documentation overview pages for each
project.
We could put a Documentation link underneath:
Download Chandler Server.
Admin Documentation
I'm not just looking for server docs, I found the Desktop docs
difficult to discover as well.
Is *part* of the problem that internally, nobody ever goes to
'Download' the server?
Not sure what you're saying here, could you elaborate?
Thanks!

There appears to be a general consensus on this. Who has the
ability to change http://chandlerproject.org, and who has final
say on the layout of that page?

I have the same problem getting to docs. +1 on a Documentation
link or similar.

I disagree. In my case (and, I posit, many users who are not new
to the project) "Get Started" does not suggest what I'm looking
for. I already started a long time ago, I'm looking for specific
end-user reference information. What I really want is a
"Documentation" link on http://chandlerproject.org
