I guess we could do something like: - autogen TOC (The Menu Entries) - Summary (Table) - Each Entry Discussion The only drawback I see to the wiki is the wiki syntax. It's not that difficult, I agree, but it can be an impediment. We would also need to keep in mind, and limit, the topic headings to the menu entries and make the topic/subtopic order reflect the menu layout. Do we want to do a 'divide-and-conquer'? Have one person on the list originally volunteer to build one of the toplevel and submenu layout in the wiki? I'll take one. We can start with Kate's proposed toplevel and go from there: Desktop Publishing Development Edutainment & Health Emulators Games Graphics Lost & Found Multimedia Network Settings System User-Apps Why don't you get the names of other volunteers and assign a name to each entry (me included) and we'll get going. For those (like me) who are not immediately familiar with the toplevel/sub/entry(and category) of Trinity. It would be helpful to get a list of the current menu hierarchy in trinity. Just a simple: file1.menu -> file2.menu -> etc. so we can confirm we get everything included. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
