Glad to see these pages are being improved. We have been covering ORMs with our students this week and EOF is our reference model. But it is a bit difficult to talk about EOF without giving the feeling of out-of-date stuff. Having seen Pascal's post the other day, I thought of these wiki pages, but when I looked at them, one thing that is missing is navigating to the next page. You need a next link at the bottom of the page to continue reading in order, and possibly previous as well.
The contents in the left frame is also not in order (overview comes half way down). Also given a heading "EOF", this does not need to be repeated for each item "EOF-Modeling", and I think Modeling could be given another subheading, with "Using".
I'm just looking at the WO Overview page and it has a section "State of Play (Late 2007)" summarized from Mike Schrag's post. 2007 is now ancient history - even to our 3rd years, they would have still been at school then! (Well, OK, I do tell them about Bob Barton and Burroughs 50 years ago, but those ideas are still good.)
These are just a few small points from a now admittedly external critic, so I hope it helps. I'm glad to see the pages use Helvetica now and not that horrible Verdana (or is it being converted for me somewhere).
My original Apple WO books are still almost the best for giving an overview, and I have most of the other books too, but these are now hard to get. So I looked at what Apple has online now and they are all boldly marked as "Legacy Document". It would be nice to see an update there to give a current overview of what Apple provides, rather than this death nell phrase.
Cheers
Ian

For example, we have *7* pages about deployment on FreeBSD, I don't think we need all of them, but I can't say which ones are bad since I never deployed on FreeBSD. So if you find any obsolete information on any page, please tag the page with the "wikitodo" page and add a comment on the page about what need to be done (delete page, merge it, etc.).
