		+	== Restructuring '08 ==
		+
		+	I've started in on a project of some basic restructuring and (hopefully) a lot of new content for the Wiki in an attempt to provide documentation that is "newb-friendly" -- in other words, accessible to beginning programmers and first-time Code::Blocks users. This Wiki is currently the most powerful source of C::B reference material there is and will probably remain so unless a team of professional documentation writers signs on.
		+
		+	This being a Wiki, I've taken the initiative and will proceed with the aforesaid overhaul unless asked not to. Since I can't do this full time, changes will take place gradually. And, of course, feel free to correct, amend, or suggest improvement as appropriate.

 It is a very handy list if you are searching information. As it is now I get it via Special pages, but it has taken some time before I found it.

 Maybe even a better solution for this: have a "requirements" page that clearly lists everything which is not obvious, and which is read _before_ users start downloading codeblocks.

	I have tried to compile the hello world example from the first tutorial, and "like always" ran into some problems: I had installed wxWindows, but I was not aware that it has to be compiled (=> "Unable to open wx/setup.h"). Besides as I recently read in the forum, it has to be compiled using the code blocks install instructions. It would be good to have a trouble shooting page that addresses all these typical newbie problems, and the link to this should be close to the download link.

		+	Next suggestion: under "Downloads and Installation", this main page says, "Nightly Cookbook - How to install a nightly build". But when I click on "Nightly Cookbook", I find instructions for collecting tools to _create_ a nightly build. I see nothing about how to install a nightly build downloaded from the forum.
		+
		+	Now I realize that 'killerbot' is not finished with the page, but in the meantime, can we call a spade a spade? Please list it as "How to Create a Nightly Build", not as "How to _install_ one".
