As a user of the handbook, I find it difficult to start at the Handbooks
tab and navigate to the information I'm looking for. There is just so
much info there and a huge amount of links right on the front page. For
some time, I've been thinking it would be nice to simplify the landing
page and use a sort of upside-down funnel system to get to the
information.


Since I can't go making mass changes in the live handbook, I've been
sketching out my ideas on my own site. Unfortunately, there's no way to
import the actual handbook to my site to make changes so I've done a lot
of copying and pasting. This is still *extremely* rough and most of the
links don't work due to being straight copied from here. I encourage
people to leave comments either on the actual pages or on this issue.
Since I had only one reply when I posted this on the docs list, I
haven't taken any time to work on it since I initially put it up there.
If there's interest, though, and people like the approach I'm taking, I
will gladly continue to flesh it out and make it into something that can
be brought over to the handbook here.
