3) This approach is much more extensible, when GnuCash v1.10 comes out, the documentation for v1.8 simply moves into the [other] link. Hell, if we have any "older than 1.6 documentation", let's put that on the [other] link too.
hmm.. ok, "old" stuff could be on a seperate page if you want.. how about instead of labelling it "other" you have a couple of links, one for "older documentation" and one for "external guides" or something. using "other" seems a little too generic for me, and it isn't immediately obvious what exactly you mean by "other", so I would have to click it to find out what is there.
Yeah, the word [other] is clearly not ideal. [Extra] maybe? [Additional], [More...], [All]?
The problem with an [external guides] link is that if we go down that road, why not also have a [older docs], and [development docs], and etc, etc. Would these all lead to the same page? We wouldn't want separate web pages for each (no!).
5) We could put a "in development" link on the [other] page, where documentation people could put their in development docs. Kind of like what I am doing now with my own web site.
good. as long as it is clearly labelled.
Well, what did you think of the wording I proposed?
Documentation In Development [GnuCash v1.10 "in devel" docs]
Disadvantages:
1) Two clicks to get to documentation other than the current User Guide and Help Manual.
as long as it is less than four, IMHO you are fine.
as an example, check out <http://python.org/doc/>.. they have a very clean interface IMHO.
Sure, but that page is not the python main page. This page would be equivalent to the page that appears when you click on the (misnamed) [other] link. But, you probably already know that. :) So, yeah, looks good.
On the python main page they have a what appears to be 3 docs links: "Documentation", "Beginners Guide" and "Topics Guide". I actually like the GnuCash.org main page layout better, the python page seems kinda busy to me. Maybe it is just the colors.
