Pages which need to be written/updated for OE5

Tasks Needed to Release the OE 5.0 Docs and Tasks Which Will Improve the Site:

---

Essential

• Create new page naming scheme to handle distinction between content for 4.0, 5.0, 5.1, etc.
• Create new main page which links to the different start pages for the different OE versions.
• Update sidebar with links to different OE version start pages, and to the new main page.
• Create a more rigid, standard layout/format for our wiki pages.
• Make sure all pages follow standard layout (with the review process)
• SEO Keywords need to be put on every page.
• Pages need to be reorganized by task, rather than by underlying category. When someone is trying to find documentation, they're thinking about the task at hand rather than the specific technologies which come into play.

KEY

The following tags indicate the release for which the item needs to be completed. If an item doesn't have a tag, then it must be completed for the next release (release 1, currently).

• (r1) - Release 1
• (r2) - Release 2
• (r3) - Release 3
• (r4) - Release 4

Important

• See about updating the appearance of the wiki to more closely match the main website
• (r2) Add a "Related Content" section to the bottom of every document, to guide people to other helpful information.

• (r3) Link to related hardware on our sales website (www)

Main Page - We need to steer people to the Main Page as much as possible, and make the Main Page appealing.
