That *is* me, isn't it? ("a new user perspective")

Actually I was referring to the page content on eg the 'basic concepts' page, 
where the writing and the pictures are closer together in my version than in the 
existing version - allows you to see more on one screen

It would be, although even with 2 levels it would still miss basic concepts, 
layers, selections. But that would be a vast improvement in my view :). And if 
people could not find what they wanted from that, we'd know the structure was 
wrong...
