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.

Important

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