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.

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.
