Documentation is mainly split between the 'main site' and the 'parts tracker' and there are duplicates/references to each other. Like this example I just found where 'Unknown Parts Numbers' are once mentioned in the Official Standards and then again in the PT FAQ.

In the PT documentation there is also a lot of info good for parts design.


IMHO, some of the documents could have a bit more sturcture, i.e. paragraphs, bold stuff, etc.

In general, I am happy to see documentation move from the Parts Tracker to the 'main site', so long as information is not lost. Maintenance of (relatively) static content should be easier in the CMS.
Dynamic content could be moved but would require any existing (Perl) scripting to be re-worked as (PHP) extensions the CMS (typically CMSMS modules). This development effort would require re-work if we switch (again) to another CMS.
