Okay. Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. I got a little excited. I'll copy over the current state of the manual to Meta:Sandbox, then revert the manual back to look like the Doc:Manual/earlier Doc:2.5/Manual index.<br>
<br>The sandbox link is:<br><a href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Sandbox/Doc:2.5/Manual_Proposal">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Sandbox/Doc:2.5/Manual_Proposal</a><br><br>The 2.5 index had considerable differences from the 2.4 index already when I started, so its hard to judge what I should put back and add/remove. I changed it back a little bit. Do you want me to straight up just revert it back to the version before I messed with it, or make it look like the 2.4 index? Bleh, now I'm really confused. heh. <br>
<br>Some of the changes I made were necessary, as many topics were missing completely, and many 2.5 features are very different from their 2.4 counterparts, such as the animation system.<br><br>Other changes were made to consolidate very short pages together. Also, some features from 2.4 were rearranged in 2.5's interface, lending themselves to be grouped differently in the manual. For example, consider the Output Panel, and the Format Panel in 2.4's render settings. These have changed considerably in 2.5, as far as organization. The manual should reflect this new grouping and workflow, which why many of my changes seemed logical.<br>
<br>The pages are still there for the most part, they just have been grouped a little differently, and some have been added. It probably looks more changed than it actually is. Most of the changes have more to do with the usability of manual itself than the changes to Blender in 2.5, in my opinion.<br>

Hey Jared,<br>
<br>
I've been looking with more attention at the 2.5 manual index and WOW..<br>
I have to say that you are making it diverging quite a lot from the<br>
official manual index...<br>
<br>
As stated in the orange banner up there, the idea is to update the<br>
official manual pages for 2.5 changes, while what you are doing is too<br>
much drastic in my opinion.<br>
<br>
Personally I'd prefer you to revert your changes in Doc:2.5/Manual and<br>
prepare a sandbox page where you propose these structural changes here,<br>
so that everybody can discuss. Otherwise crosslinking will be impossible<br>
and really it will be very hard to compare the changes against 2.4 manual.<br>
<br>
I don't really think blender 2.5 is so much different from 2.4 to<br>
justify all these structural changes in the manual.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Luca<br>
