Yeah, that was what I was thinking about, not only would it be the main
page
for the documentation information, but also house some personal
information
too!.... I mean, you could choose it to be an html front-end for your
e-mail,
news, addressbook, calendar/organizer. it'll be full of dynamic content,
or
it could just contain links to the programs that actually do the said
functions. so it'll be full of features for collating information on
your
system (as a user, not a sysadmin[ hmm, maybe even as a sysadmin, just
check
a box :) ]), from e-mail, to help.... and it should have a consistent
look
and feel even if you're just viewing an individual help item or topic...
so
everything should be fully integrated.
