Honestly, I don't care for it that much when presented in that sense that waffle
uses it.  I think it hides too many options, so the user can't really see what
documentation is there with only a glance.  By having more of an old-fashioned
table of contents, I think we get our message across better.

Perhaps if we used it in the more of a super-high-level overview menu, ie 

PicoContainer (Has about, etc)
Documentation  
Download PicoContainer
Developer Information

That kind of thing... 

Otherwise, I find it a bit unfriendly the way the waffle site does it.

IMO, of course!
