Hi,
I agree with Paul on this. To me, it could work a bit like the "hidden doc"
checkmark. We can show it only for advanced users and/or admins if needed.
The current practice, which implies putting a {{velocity}} tag with
docextra = [] on each home page feels a bit antiquated...
As for the list itself, it looks good to me as well.
Thanks,
Guillaume
