I started some work on a TableOfContents for developer documentation and then started working on it a bit. Unfortunately, real life got in my way and now I don't have enough time to really pursue it. http://www.gnome.org/~bmsmith/TableOfContents http://www.gnome.org/~bmsmith/gnome2-developer-guide.pdf If there is interest in developing this more, I can import it into GNOME CVS. I have a typical gnome-doc-utils infrastructure set up for it already.
