True.  They need a set of navigation links, for one.

Yes, that's why linked to it.  I mean that some of the links there may
be old, but they are all helpful.

Ah, that rings a bell.  I tied these two subjects together because
every time someone attends an event at a booth or as a speaker, they
have a need for one of those docs, and often work on one (in private).
 If we get more organized about helping people go present, it will
lead to a better WMDOC library.

It's worth pinging the people who have submitted presentations so far.
 I added a few navigation guides to help improve traffic to those
parts of Meta.
