I finally took a bit of time to reorganize the Wiki front page to be  
more list-like:
http://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/

What do you think? This should bring the important documentation  
areas forward quite a bit better.

Now, looking at the docs, there are three areas where more  
information would severely be needed:

* Building the site structure: There are currently no docs about how  
to build a site structure in Midgard, creating subtopics as  
directories, and mapping components to them. A simple HOWTO would do  
wonders here

* Customizing the style: Now we have two separate guides for making  
layouts, but frankly both suck. Some love from a web designer who  
knows Midgard would be needed here. The current pages about this are  
http://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/getting-started-create- 
style/ and http://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/howto-midcom- 
styles/

* MidCOM component development: This area would be very useful to all  
PHP developers looking at Midgard. It would be great if Arttu could  
complete his guide there, so Torben could then add his wisdom on  
making efficient MidCOM 2.5+ components.
