You got me - it seems to be one of those bits of "common knowledge" that hang around for some reason. A bit of 'net research shows that opinion seems quite strong, both for and against "counting clicks". I guess what I'm trying to say is: the content should be organized such that "within a few clicks" you *know* you are on the right path, e.g. top levels: getting started, developing, using. Under getting started: installing, tutorials, ... Under developing: pointers into the code base.... Under installing: installing the IDEs, installing Java, installing framework, etc. I suppose a related question is cross-referencing. Some content can quite obviously belong on multiple help pages - so, since you don't want to duplicate content (I assume), then you should ensure that the other "likely" pages have links to the chosen content page?
