RE: [dita-fa-edboard] categories nicely organized

["Carol Geyer" <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org>]

Bruce,
Thanks so much for tackling this. It's really a big improvement.

When you say the wiki links are broken, can you provide a few examples so we
can track this down? Keep in mind, the links that appear in red are stub pages
(suggestions for topics for which pages haven't been created yet). I guess we
should consider how we can make that more obvious. Not everyone is wiki-savvy
(I'm certainly living proof of that).

I've removed your note about broken wiki links but left in the reference to the
site map, which I think is very helpful.

Carol

Over the weekend, I categorized about half the book file topics in the site 
map. On most of the pages, there are no apparent content changes. (I did a 
little tinkering on one of the specialization topics to connect the pages 
better.)

The links from the home page of the wiki seem to be broken ... I'm not sure 
whether freelinking is supposed to work for them, so I just left the links 
alone and added a second paragraph at the top advertising the site map. 
Once the categorizing is done, we can advertise the tag cloud.

Best wishes,

Bruce
