Actually, I'm working on that. Joost's menu package does all the hard work, so it's easy to implement. In a few days, I'm going to release an experimental version of dwww that contains documentation menus for all of the packages, plus additional menus for users, system administrators, and programmers. Plus there will be another menu that contains links to internet sites of interest to Debian users. The nice thing about using the menu package for this is that any package or system administrator is able to add or delete links from the menu. So dwww can supply a base set of links and menus, and any other package can add on to it. For a quick look at what I'm up to, you can check out: http://dwww.jimpick.com/dwww/menu.html This has the generated menu all in one file. I'm going to change it around so that the menus are in multiple files, because the one file approach isn't really workable when you add documentation for every package on the system (I've got over 500 packages installed here). I'm still experimenting with the format of the menu entries, plus I want to solicit some feedback from the debian-doc team on how the heirarchy should be structured. Cheers, - Jim
