just so I understand better what the issue seem to be.
A) is it because of how/where the content is displayed?
or
B) is it because the content is organized in a multi level structure?
As for collapsible sections, that could address A). There are a few issues to
workout with the autoexport plugin if we want to use features already available
from Confluence.
Cheers!

Hi All,
To reduce the number of layers... any thoughts on implementing a page
that encompasses the main subject with well defined heading hierarchy
then referencing using page + anchors? I recognize that for some
documentation (administrative tasks...) this would yield an excessively
long page - but with the right combination we may be able to reduce
quite a few levels?
Also, i like the tree idea Jason and David mentioned above.
Wishing you all the best,
Joseph Leong

I liked David's idea of collapsible trees. Is that possible with
the wiki? It doesn't seem like something a wiki would be able to
inherently handle but one can hope.

Dave,
we need to figure out a way to organize th content. For 2.1
we'll hopefully end up around 200 pages, we can't have them all
listed on one page.
More specifically on "Installing and removing applications" it
will only take 2 clicks to get there once in the 2.1 doc space
>From http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/documentation.html
click on *Administration* and then on *Installing and removing
applications*. The breadcrumbs help navigate through the
hierarchy, a user will not necessarily have to navigate through
every single one of those topics to get to the content wanted.
On the 2.1 doc home page we definitively need to show a subset
of topics, I think a 3 level (as we have it now) is OK. Maybe
lower it to just 2 levels if we rework the titles and rearrange
the structure.
What do others think?
Cheers!
