Dear Charlie!

Thank for your reply!

I agree with you, it's necessary to give adequate tool to a maintainer
to facilite your job. However, a documentation is writed to final users,
essentialy. And users need a clean, rapid and efficent manner to found
what the users are searching. Wikis are good to this.

The comparative is "simple-minded", I know, but I am not a designer nor 
developer, I am seeing the question on eyes of the final user. Maybe by 
this fact I have perceived problems in design pages of documentation. 
Examples of documentation pages given by me in previous post show best 
navigability to final users than Drupal documentation.

Drupal is great, I have installed an intranet in your enterprise using 
it without I had necessity to learn PHP or other language, but in 
process of learning of Drupal, its documentation was my great problem. 
While I was learning Drupal, I was searching tools to building a web
application as well. In the process to evaluate what the best system and
language to our needs, "my eyes shine" when I did found clean and simple
documentation. That examples can have faults, but I found out all
information I needed on efficient manner.

To resolve "how help a contribute" to insert a page without a structure
like parent/child pages, I think one or more persons would be
responsible by this function, and Drupal have already these persons.

Best wishes

Luiz
