(Resend again. Hopefully it'll go through this time) Hi,
As hopefully some people know, there has been some work in getting a new TOC together for Yelp (until Mallard starts quacking). The ideas can be found in bug #337584 [1]. This will hopefully be applied before the next release (on Monday), so first off, if you have any problems with this, SPEAK UP NOW. NOW, that is. Don't complain after it is applied that the old way was better, unless you complain before, or get special permission from a higher power (i.e. shaunm). A screen-shot of the TOC can be found at [2]. The sections on the left expand as you click on them. The "Help Topics" is also clickable (when on a different page) - taking you back to the top level. The sections have been rejigged (finally) and the "big three" docs are now top-level. All the sections from the current "Applications" have also been moved up to the top level. A couple of points from me: 1. In previous iterations of this idea, the right pane (with all the docs) was split into 2: "Subsections" and "Documents" (see [3]). I still can't decide if I like it without the subsections (although it now only affects a very few sections - Main level, Man / Info pages). The number of subsections on the left of the main level probably make this infeasible. 2. My beloved grey background is gone *sniff*. My own fault, been caught up with other things. It was unthemed. I'll at some point look at this again. I thought the grey helped distinguish different areas. 3. "Other Applications" and "Other Documentation". 'nuff said. 4. The Man / info pages are back on the front page. Last time this happened, there was a flame fest (well, at least as close as the doc team gets to a flame fest ;) ). 5. Clicking "GNU Info Pages" lists the categories (since there are no docs in the top-level of info files). Same with Man pages. This is related to 1 above. The categories look like docs. Just seems a little peculiar. 6. No blurb for Man / Info page sections. Not a big deal. Anyway, despite all these, I'm still in favour of committing. The various points can all be addressed after committing. Anyway, enough jabbering from me. Back to doing something useful.
