I completely misinterpreted this item when I saw it on the "To Do" list. I
thought the item was requesting an index for each category of document on
the LDP (Guides, HOWTOs, FAQs, and man pages). I noticed that currently
some of the indexes look different and contain different things (for
example, some have annotations and others don't), and I thought it might be
helpful to make them consistent. I also considered adding a topical index
that includes all the different types of documentation, so users could
easily see what kinds of docs were available on a certain topic. While
this isn't really what the item on the list was talking about, I still
think it could be helpful. Is there any interest in my creating this kind
of index?
Thanks,
Kristin
