* A link to reference documentation on the front page of http://chandlerproject.org 
. In this case, I want something that will take me to a page that has  
a link to "Server Administrator Documentation." In the future,  
however, I'll very likely want a link to a page that has a link to  
"Chandler Desktop Documentation." "Chandler Desktop Documentation"  
would be a table of contents that I can navigate to find out how  
feature X works (from an end-user perspective) without a whole lot of  
handholding.


So something like:

Report a Bug
Project Wiki
Documentation

where "Documentation" goes to:

-------
Chandler Project Documentation

Chandler Desktop Documentation
Chandler Server Documentation
Chandler Hub Documentation
--------


And each of these links go to Documentation overview pages for each  
project.

I'm not just looking for server docs, I found the Desktop docs  
difficult to discover as well.

Not sure what you're saying here, could you elaborate?

Thanks!
