I think this is OK for the first. I thought that we first
let finish Mauro's task on making the media PDF and after
this we decide how move from the latex folder to a pdf folder
(one solution see below).

Yes, everything is under output / tested O=..

Yes this was my intention. With some additional work, we can build a 
root index.html where the other formats are linked. Since other
formats *below* index.html, everything is *reachable* from the root
index.html.

Changing the latex/pdf issue should be  just a two-liner (not yet tested).

Not yet, there is a concurrency question to answer, should sub-folder's 
PDFs defined in the main conf.py-file or in the sub-folder conf.py?

I suggest the last one, or in other words: the PDF content of a target
should have the same content as the HTML target even if it is a subfolder
or the whole documentation. But this is only possible if we know, that
all media content can be integrated in the big PDF file.

After said this, what is your suggestion? For me its all equal, these 
are only my 2cent to this discussion :-)
