Although I didn't have much against your structure I didn't see that you 
involved the whole docMatrix in it with having one big document in mind. 
It looked to me that you came up with a whole new idea where the 
existing docs didn't have much place in them.

And you got a lot of reflections on your structure from people about not 
being very user friendly. I personally didn't see much of a problem but 
that doesn't mean that there was or was not.

And, the people who complained don't seem to be around anymore or are 
just monitoring the NG.

I can't remember that structure. The one I had in mind looked much 
different. So maybe that was created after I stopped taking part in that 
structuring process.

After all, It doesn't really matter what we do as long as it serves. The 
idea to create a new structure with the existing documents is not new 
it's just what we can do right away before writing a lot of new docs. I 
can see that it does make sense to keep all the docs in  the docMatrix 
and only kick the ones out that are old.

Also, when I said to have one big document I didn't mean it the way you 
proposed as seen by klicking the above link. This is some structure with 
links to documents. What I'm proposing is to create a whole new big 
document where it seems that everything that is apart now is together.

Maybe that is a bad idea but in my mind it would make a more put 
together picture and give more stability.
