Hi,

Yesterday myself, Rich and mpt had a chat about the index design for the
various help applications for the next release. I had a go at making
some changes to Yelp which implement our ideas. The result is here:

Feedback appreciated!

The main reason I'm writing is to discuss a particular change we made to
the topic list. We were conscious that there are a good many of them and
we thought that the "Office", "Games", and "Programming" topics should
probably not be in the list - these sections currently simply deal with
which alternative applications are available to install in the relevant
categories, which is something that might be better dealt with in the
"Add applications" topic. Another option would be simply avoiding
presenting these topics on the front page, but retaining them "in the
background", to be accessed via the search function.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TopicBasedHelp/TopLevelCategories represents the
changes. Can people take a look and see what they think?

Thanks

Matt
