Why is the link to the wiki so far away ?

[Litrik De Roy <co...@litrik.com>]

Remember during the GT2003 when Steven asked the audience whether they check
the website or the wiki for docs?

I was surprised to see how hard it is to find out about the wiki when
visiting the Cocoon website:

There is no link on the navigation bar on http://cocoon.apache.org/ nor on
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/ . There is a link on
http://cocoon.apache.org/link/sites.html and some other pages but they are
too far away.

A link to the Wiki would fit under the category "Community" I guess.

Fine as well.

Just make sure that it is on all "homepages". Since 2.1 there is the main
page at http://cocoon.apache.org/ and the homepage for each version
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.0/ and http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/

If there is only a link on the real homepage, people that jump right to the
homepage of the current release would miss it.

...but why not have it right on the front page if
people use it that much?

Thanks Litrik, i added a navigation menu item to both the top-level
site and the 2.1 docs, and also a mention about documentation in general
on the top-level index.html
