Good point.

Oh, good, it is already there (if looking in the correct place).  So
then my proposed actions to 'reorganization' is mostly deleting from
the improper place.  In the last PSC meeting, it sounded that Jim and
I agree that we had too much good documentation and things would be
better is half of it was deleted.  This can be a small start at that.

Yes, docs.geomoose.org.  I would like to keep a top bar to the
(correct) ticketing system.  How about the GeoMoose logo goes to
geomoose.org and 'home' goes to the home of the docs page you're one?
Currently the 'documentation' top bar is broken, I've been meaning to
log in to the server and look at Apache configs to see why it works
for 2.6 and master but not 2.7.  Then perhaps update,
https://github.com/geomoose/geomoose-website/blob/master/source/developer/release.rst
(if that top bar is going to stick around).

We also have some overlap here,
http://geomoose.org/developer/index.html and here,
http://docs.geomoose.org/master/developer/index.html.  Seems project
specific not software specific.

Now that Jim pointed out that I missed the obvious information in the
correct location and was failing to maintain the separation between
the website (which is about project level details) and the docs pages
(which are about specific versions of the software), my plan is to
continue the website/docs reorganization.  I plan to delete the
duplicate project specific details in the docs pages, specifically the
support details.  I'll also winnow down the top bar.

Does anyone have input or want to work together on the revised plan?
