[Mulgara-general] Finding documentation

Hello all,

I don't want to sound too whingy, but I had a really hard time finding the 
documentation for Mulgara, since the "Documentation" link at the top of 
http://mulgara.org only points down on the main page, which links to the 
Wiki, which doesn't mention the documentation at docs.mulgara.org until three 
clicks in (or at least I couldn't find it faster). I didn't notice the links 
on the left hand side until the third time around since they are very laid 
back and I just didn't expect two left hand navigations. The first time round 
I actually went away and tried Jena instead -- I needed something quickly for 
some prototyping and didn't feel like hunting down documentation, I was just 
looking for a basic quick start document to start trying stuff.

After two people talked me into checking out Mulgara again (still prototyping, 
so I still don't really care that much) I found that link, but I think it is 
very hard to notice. I actually asked my wife to point out all things to do 
on that page and she pointed to the two text-based navigations and then 
said "and maybe this", pointing to the graphical links on the far left. At 
least it doesn't seem to be just me having problems identifying these links, 
so I thought I mention it here. There might be more people turning their back 
on the project due to the perceived lack of documentation as I did in the 
first round.

Cheers,
   Peter
