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.

Important
