Hi Jon,

I agree with most of your comments. I have added them to the related issue.
We'll try to fix as many things as possible before 1.1 launch:

"Improve the Wiki structure"

Some thoughts on the docs.

The wiki's menu is a mass of expanded links and most are todos with 
noway of knowing, without clicking every single one, that they have content.
It is truly awful to navigate.
Should developer notes really be kept on the wiki? eg 
http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_1.1/g1/43-restlet/124-restlet.html

How about:
Moving the restlet.org documentation to the wiki.
Unpublishing/removing anything that does not have content.
Removing all developer notes.
Make the wiki nav start contracted.
Expand the quickstart (15 mins) tutorials to cover a lot more common 
containers.
Remove the need to register to comment, use a simpler technique to stop 
comment spam (jroller style?)

Jon
