No, that's what it is meant to be...a method for discovering
|
|
documentation resources. Why would you want something application
|
|
centric? Or perhaps I missed something?

|
|
We've got both method of categorization...and it's very Yahoo-like.
|
|
Notice the links *below* the search box. You have End-User books, etc.
|
|
Different types of content categorization can be applied, we
|
|
decided to go with a paradigm we used on IRIX (Admin, End User,
|
|
Developer ...those being the various bookshelfs).
|
|
|
|
> Take the first entry in the Howto section for example "A mSQL and

|
|
|
|
Well, again, that's the straight (somewhat broken :-)) alpha index.
|
|
Categorization by topic can indeed be applied, per the various
|
|
"books" and "shelves".
