O.o In fact I was dreaming about a devel portal today... Aye, that is weird.

I gotta come up with something very drafty but usable for ako very soon. But 
as Leo wrote about the search mess, I have to say that's not very easy to 
solve for ako. Cause, when you're searching for dbus at the times of 2.2.0 
(for example) you will get approx 300 billion results (probably less ;-). The 
problem about this is that you can't restrict the searches to developmen 
unless we use a namespace (i.e. Devel:FooBar), this again doesn't allow bread 
crumbs, so the whole subpaging layout isn't possible unless we do something 
like Devel:2.0/FooBar ... or maybe Devel:2.0.0/FooBar ... while this probably 
gives proper structure anyway, what to do for pages which get heavy change in 
Devel:2.1? move it? just create a new one? (which is bad for web search 
results etc.).

IT IS AWFUL.

So, what do you prefer?
Devel:Foobar - where foobar itself can't have a bread crumb to Devel (where we 
can place the portal)
or 
Devel:2.0/Foobar - where Foobar got a bread crumb to 2.0 which shows all the 
pages for 2.0

Ohhh... just another possability poped into my wicked mind: Dev:l/foobar or 
D:Evel/foobar anyone? ;-)
