After discussions with Helen I think that this page should have a section "Current development projects" which should have the links that are currently on the [[Developer notes]] page. That page should then simply be redirected to [[Developer documentation]]. I find it important to be able to have an overview over everything on this main page. I am not worried about this page being long, the table of contents at the top allows one to easily jump to the section of interest. --[[User:Gustav|Gustav]] 20:39, 13 February 2006 (WST) | After discussions with Helen I think that this page should have a section "Current development projects" which should have the links that are currently on the [[Developer notes]] page.

After discussions with Helen I think that this page should have a section "Current development projects" which should have the links that are currently on the Developer notes page. That page should then simply be redirected to Developer documentation. I find it important to be able to have an overview over everything on this main page. I am not worried about this page being long, the table of contents at the top allows one to easily jump to the section of interest. --Gustav Delius 20:39, 13 February 2006 (WST)
Does this work?
Note: New developer documentation pages should be added to the Development namespace by typing Development:
before the new page name i.e. [[Development:New page name]]
.
If you are a developer, you probably want to change your preferences to include the Development namespace in searches.
A page may be added to the Developer category by typing [[Category:Developer|New page name]]
at the bottom of the page.

Splitting up?
Are there already plans for splitting up this page? I think many of the sections deserve their own page(s), e.g. the Tools section. --Frank Ralf 19:19, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Isn't there an English version of the page?
