I've gone ahead with option #1: user docs are categorized as "Documentation", following precedent. I haven't yet touched the doc dev pages.
I've found quite a few orphaned pages (no incoming links), old pages, and stubs, which I've categorized. You can look at the documentation category page to get a feel for what kinds of things are floating around. Most notable among these are the "HowTo" pages, which I moved into a common hierarchy like the FAQ pages, put in a subcategory of the same name. --Kenneth On Tue, Oct 24, 2017 at 11:02 PM, Kenneth Hanson <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all. > > I'm continuing to work a bit on the wiki, now focusing on organizing user > docs.
