CCing gnome-doc-devel-list@xxxxxxxxx Ah hah. IIRC, that's exactly what Ubuntu does. The reason I didn't just make G|L|D|Other always top-level is that it seems wrong for those distros that are in ScrollKeeper's (very out-of-date) list. I suppose I could put all of the G|L|D|* categories at the top and just assume most normal people don't have the distro docs for more than one distro installed. But then that screws the BSDs, Solaris, etc. So currently we have the Other page, which catches all the SK categories under General|* and System|*. What if I put all of System|* in System, put General|Licenses in Licenses, and put everything else under General|* on the front page? A quick grep on my system (FC4 + some rawhide, no fancy distro docs packages installed) shows the only General|* category used is General|Licenses, and that's only used by the GPL, LGPL, and FDL license texts installed by Gnome. The ScrollKeeper categories aren't optimal, and we're not going to get a really nice solution until we can replace the help system (and share the new system with KDE, if all goes right). For the time being, though, we can at least manage to share the same dirty hacks. // Shaun -- fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
