Putting the 'most important' things in a 'most prominent' manner is
always very difficult, well at least deciding what those things are
can be difficult.

It has been my opinion for many years that the best approach to the
MapServer documentation (which I think is great) is to use the search.
 The same is probably true for GeoMOOSE and pycsw (and other Sphinx
based) documentation.
