Thoughts on subject breakdown

[Justin Couch <couch@ccis.adisys.com.au>]

Following on from the What Next? thread, I had a think through the way
that we could break the site down.

While we definitely need the "How do I ..." section, I think there is a
lot of different classes of information and setups where we present that
question in the local context rather than just having a thousand and one
links right at the top level. 

Given the sort of single purpose thin server approach that many Linux
boxen are finding themselves in, I think the following topic breakdown
may be appropriate to look at (at least as a starter). The idea is to
get the reader to the area of interest as quickly as possible and then
we work on what sort of docs need to be written under each area. For
example, we could get these all listed on the single title page and then
just build the underlying dir structure as needed. That is, I'm talking
about an information structure, not a file structure.

"Look through the lens, and the light breaks down into many lights.
 Turn it or move it, and a new set of arrangements appears... is it
 a single light or many lights, lights that one must know how to
 distinguish, recognise and appreciate? Is it one light with many
 frames or one frame for many lights?"      -Subcomandante Marcos
