I'm stuck.
http://percival-music.ca/blogfiles/out/lilypond-general_1.html
The "community" was buried in About->community, which was too hard
to find. However, when I promote it to a top-level chapter, that
gives us seven chapters. This feels like too much. And more to
the point, I need to reduce the font-size (IMO too much) to avoid
chopping off words on my 800-pixel screen.
- I really don't think we should demand more than 800 pixels of
window-width. Even if people have higher-resolution displays,
they might not want to maximize their displays. I don't think
we should force this.
- We could rename "Documentation" to "Docs", but IMO that doesn't
look as professional. Also, it raises the question (note to
grammaticians: I didn't say "begs the question") about other
shortenings like "intro" and "devel".
- I'm toying with abolishing "About". Essay and testimonials
would go to Introduction; Press could go to Community;
Acknolwedgements and Dedication could go somewhere. But then
the Introduction isn't "skim this before downloading"; it's
a mixture of "pre-download skims" and "really cool background
info".
- Alternate "About"-abolishment: Essay goes to Docs, Testimonials
goes to Intro (not a bad place for it, anyway), and Ack+Ded goes
somewhere. Potentially Essay could even get merged back into
the LM, or a renamed AU.
- Another idea is to abolish the "Home" chapter and use
Introduction as the "home page". Currently, "Home" is the only
chapter that doesn't have a second TOC layer.
(alternately, merge the current Introduction stuff in Home,
giving Home a second TOC layer)
None of these options feels particularly appealing, though. This
is somewhat upsetting, since I had a really nice feeling about the
5+1 (home) chapters. And it's annoying, since I feel as though
I'm on the verge of finding a nice simple solution to this. But
I've been "verging" for a few hours now... :|
