Structure
Some discussion has been had regarding the layout of the Manual: namespace, but no formal decision has been made. The main debate is whether Manual pages should be organized in a flat hierarchy, with all pages at the root level, or with subtopics as subpages of the main topics. Here is where prior discussion has taken place:


 * [ User talk:Bdk#Config. stuff]
 * Project:Flat namespace
 * Project:Current issues/Archive 1
