Re: Plans For Docathon@ApacheEU2006

If there is anything on http://www.apache.org/ and across the foundation's
websites that ever bothered you, *docathon* is your answer.  Committers with
site-wide access will be available to solve these issues and get suggestions
committed to the site(s).  [Please don't assault the docathon team with
project-specific doc issues, however.  Take those to the projects themselves.]

And if anyone has an answer offhand, I'm looking for a tool that does six
degrees of separation analysis across our sites, to determine which pages
are so far removed that they are impossible for the average Joe to find.
If you have leads on this, please email me pointers directly.  Thanks

Bill

Roy wrote something that sort of did this, long ago. I love the idea.
