Hello,

I find the documentation of this website very useful.
However, I have a problem to know how to access it in an efficient way.

When I go to the documentation, I browse this page:
http://codex.gallery2.org/

I have the impression that on this page a lot of sub-pages are not mentioned.
For example, all modules are listed on the following page:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules

Why doesn't this page appaer as link on the main documentation page (http://codex.gallery2.org/)?

How can I know which pages exist for Gallery2 (http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:.....)?

Thank you!

Would you put a link for each sub-index page on the frontpage?
If you do that, the frontpage quickly becomes chaotic, you won't find the really important things anymore.
That's why pages are grouped together. And there are just a few top-level links: installation, admin & maintenance, usage, troubleshooting.
E.g. in Usage, you'll find a link to the modules index page.

And at Installation, you'll find "installing other components (plugins, ...)" which explains how to install modules.

http://codex.gallery2.org/Category:Gallery_2 is a good start. but the codex is organized such that you'll find all information that you need by clicking through the the top-level links.
