Right, unless anyone really doesn't like this idea (and says so!) then I
think we should do it too. Now, what wording should we use as a title
for the bottom section? I'd quite like:

"The following other categories of documentation are available:"

I like the word "category" because it makes it clear that, as opposed to
the guides in the top section, the links are not guides, but groups of
guides. The disadvantage of using the word "other" is that it already
appears in one of the categories, but at the moment I can't think of a
way of getting round this. Thoughts on wording?

This has been done already.
