Hi,<br>
<br>
if you are suggesting to make an editor-by-editor documentation, I
think that you are talking not about a Blender manual, but about a
Blender Reference.<br>
<br>
I completely agree with you that this would be really good to have,
but it's not a manual restructure. It's a new thing. Manual is, and
should stay IMHO, topic-driven. A reference should be editor-driven.<br>
<br>
However, I think it's important to focus on having an accurate and
up-to-date manual now. If this is accomplished, I completely support
the Blender Reference idea.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Pep.<br>

Hi;<br>
<br>
I would like to propose some small first steps for beginning the
restructuring of the first 2 levels of the documentation
hierarchy:<br>
<br>
A bit of reasoning for why i propose this:<br>
I guess that most people will first open the program, then open
the documentation, and try to find their way. Since Blender uses
the Editors all over the place, i think it is convenient to take
care of this in the manual as well. So for example a user should
not need to guess where he/she could possibly find something about
the UV Image editor. But get this presented right away in the
hierarchy. That's why i propose to add an "Editors" Section on the
first documentation level.<br>

It may be possible that the "Functional Areas" and the "Editors"
are just 2 different views on the same topic.<br>
