Hi :) I only placed it on the main page hastily. I see it as a work-in-progress and that links and even whole sections are likely to get moved to more appropriate areas. The whole of the docs wiki needs re-organising but it's very very low priority. We seem to manage to muddle through just about well enough for now. So, if someone moves the link i would be quite happy.

I have now looked at "Installing extensions" and see that it is indeed a how-to based on the Getting Started guide chapter on Customizing. It needs only a bit of tidying up, including the info on the copyright page. Your comment on "Publishing extensions" suggests that removing the pointer to the file from the Docs wiki (where Tom had put it) might be best at this point. BTW, if I were editing "Publishing extensions" I would crop the screenshots to take off the browser's title bar, menu bar, and address bar. They aren't relevant to what's going on, and removing them (especially the address bar) will make the images relevant for longer -- at least until the web page itself is redesigned. However, at this point cropping the existing images may not be worth the effort, because the web page probably will change. So my comment applies more to someone capturing replacement images when the time comes. This looks like a document that anyone with good English skills could usefully edit. I think it's a good project for someone wanting to get involved here without a big commitment, yet it's more interesting and more work than the minor tidying up that most of our existing user guide material needs. It could be a good "before and after" example for someone to add to their portfolio.
