* Added a new template (see [[Administrator Information]]) to generate page titles that won't print in pdf output (which is still to be added). Example in [[Session 7]] and [[Session 2]], that show page header, page title, and page contents nicely in sequence.

I've tried to clean up the front page. This should work better. I still have reservations against making the front page part of the manual: If the community is successful, the front page will place less emphasis on the 'original' manual, because there will be additional materials, experiences from workshops, translations etc. However, perhaps for now the front page should become the main page of the manual.

Yes, i agree that the front page should become the main page of the manual-- we need to 'hook' people in-- and then we can hope to see a community develop. tricky business! later today or early tomorrow i will send a more detailed mail with some suggestions on how to arrange various sessions (and alternative titles for the 'sessions') in the manual-- as a result of a long discussion that Roger and I had yesterday. | Yes, i agree that the front page should become the main page of the manual-- we need to 'hook' people in-- and then we can hope to see a community develop. tricky business! later today or early tomorrow i will send a more detailed mail with some suggestions on how to arrange various sessions (and alternative titles for the 'sessions') in the manual-- as a result of a long discussion that Roger and I had yesterday. | ||
