Re: Finding Documentation

I'd really rather not let this drop. There's a real need for better  
discoverability of the documentation, as evidenced by the +1s on this  
thread.

How do we keep forward momentum? Who can make this change? I'd be  
happy to drive this, but AFAIK I don't have the power to actually make  
anything happen on that page.
