Ok for me. I have not read all documents...

My new suggestion is that this section is moved into another 
section. I will come back to that in a new wiki version of 
the structure...


> 4-Advanced Installation
> Needed ? Why not part of Troubleshooting at the end of Installation basics ?

You are probably right! But if troubleshooting becomes big 
and/or very detailed maybe there could be an idea to lift 
out some parts into a separate document?

(I think that some deep tech details in the existing 
tutorials interrupts "the flow" and should be moved to 
appendixes or separate documents...)

Kasper suggests three "target groups": User, Administrator 
and Developer. And I agree, this is a good and easy way to 
structure documents by. Easy for us and easy for the visitor 
to know which he/she belongs to.

Right now I dont think there are any User documents for 
Typo3 - but I think thats something we really should produce!


> 7- Developer Doc should go before dev tutorials

I wanted to have the same substructure for all target groups:
   Tutorial
   Manual
   Tips and Troubleshooting
   References

This is very near Kaspers own suggestion, but he uses 
"Examples" instead of "Tips and Troubleshooting".
And I think this substructure is good...

Not right now, but I am not making the structure to just fit 
right now - I want it to fit later on too! If it is going to 
be the overall structure, we should also take in 
considuration what is missing today and what we might get it 
in the future.


This overall structure should be reflected on the Matrix 
page and should be completed with some sort of roadmaps like 
you have suggested for the typo3.org web pages in another mail.
