	:::On the "''cookbooks''" issue... perhaps using "Categories" might be a help. This is not a subject I understand well enough (yet!), but it seems to me that it might add a multi-dimentional element to how articles are arranged and accessed, so that they can be come at from more than one direction (don't know how yet - research needed!). I think the original idea had merit - that some articles will be of a "howto" nature while others will be more descriptive, others discursive and still others umm... complaining (whining? - "''why don't DAW do more with the Linux product?''" <g>). In a big Wiki like Wikipedia, searching is usually the only way to start, but with our rather less ambitious subject matter, good organisation might lead people quickly to what they need (even if they didn't know they needed it and didn't know it was there). --[[User:Mikepeat\|Mike]] 11:12, 21 November 2007 (CET)		:::On the "''cookbooks''" issue... perhaps using "Categories" might be a help.

			::Yes . The need for having a "cookbook" can be adressed by having a category for all the different recipees. I think we should proceed in this direction . I removed the cookbook links from the frontpage and the navigation. --[[User:Jka\|Jka]] 20:12, 21 November 2007 (CET)
