You're right. I guess what I'm more concerned about is whether the current layout of the stable (2.12) documentation links on the website is *confusing* or not -- primarily thinking from a navigational perspective. > It's basically the same set of links as in the 2.12 documentation.

True. This gets tiresome after a while (for me). > The All link from the manuals page gets you to a page (Documentation quick > links) that you can use to get to any of the split HTML pages.

I *really* wish the website had a "sitemap" with links to every manual from the stable and development documentation. Maybe a two-column webpage with the 2.12 links in the left column and the 2.13 links in the right column?
