Audacity Selection and Selecting are similar pages both linked to from the Main page. Is this overlap what we want? (probably yes, but just checking). JamesCrook 15:23, 24 November 2007 (PST)

On the Tools Toolbar page I've linked the individual tools to the comprehensive articles on the topic - e.g. for envelopes and for selecting. Should we do the same for the links on the main page rather than create new short pages for these tools? JamesCrook 15:23, 24 November 2007 (PST)

There's at least three styles of writing in this manual.

  • There's the remnants of the old reference manual- not linked to directly from the main page, but still visible via the FAQ.
  • There's the detailed tutorial style of the main help.
  • There's some newer reference help that is brief.

I'm thinking the reference section needs to stay brief, so that anyone can quickly see what the features are by reading the reference section. To understand how to use the features they'll either start in the tutorial sections, or getto the tutorials from links from the reference section. The old reference material is gradually deprecated as we replace it with newer stuff. Sound OK? JamesCrook 16:31, 24 November 2007 (PST)
