Hi,
this was part of another thread in this list (titled "New member -
Trouble accessing CVS"). I want to bring it forward with an appropriate
subject line to enable some discussion.

From a *contributor's* point of view, it makes sense to present
documentation split up by presentation channels, like Guides,
Howtos, FAQs, Setup Guides, Online Help and whatnot.
As a *user* looking for help, I don't care *where* my information is,
I just want to find it. Thus, a consolidated approach guiding the
user to the information seems to make more sense to me.
In the first step, we should ask the visitor whether he/she
a) is looking for help on using OOo
b) wants to contribute to the doc.oo.o project
In case of a), let them
1) search the complete documentation for their problem
2) browse documentation type by type
In case of b), let them
1) easily join the project and give instructions on how
to contribute, what needs to be done etc. Pretty much what
we already have on the front page
2) get to a "workspace" where they can start contributing.
This is the sort of structure I was thinking of.
