[udig-devel] Shuffling the content of the German user guide

[Jody Garnett]

Hi Matthias - I end up using a number in front of the name and then 
sorting by title.

I know I went through the same set of questions you listed; and stessed 
out about it for a while. But really going with a leading number did not 
end up being that bad (mostly because confluence will update all the 
links when you revise the numbers).

Also note that much of the reference material materials (list of views, 
list of wizards, etc...) does not need to be ordered. It is mostly when 
you have lists of insturctions like in the ADMIN space.

I am updating the writing guidelines here; to reflect this understanding:

> - "modified" - Sorted by date of last modification

> If you know how to correct this, please do the HOME page as an example. Currently some pages of the basic tutorial are on the wrong position, such as "Der Arbeitsplatz" (should be first) or "Den Arbeitsplatz verlassen" (should be the last)
