Here are few of my proposals/comments:

1. I think a sidebar would be useful in documentation, specially when there two set of audience: developers and non-developers. I added one in this fork: [https://github.com/cbhushan/syncthing/wiki](https://github.com/cbhushan/syncthing/wiki) . Ofcourse the order can be adjusted appropriately.

2. A temporary (& faster) solution for more informative downloads page could be to add a download page in wiki and link that wiki page to website.

3. I am writing a python script to take all wiki and convert it to a single pdf with different sub-sections. I will be using the sidebar to get section/sub-section order etc. Does that sound reasonable?

4. I just noticed that installation instructions may not be very clear for novice non-developers. I will try to add few thing but it will be limited to linux and windows.

5. I also think that an image emphasizing peer-to-peer synchronization could be helpful for new visitor to understand what syncthing does. May be replace/update the first image [https://syncthing.net/images/rsa.jpg](https://syncthing.net/images/rsa.jpg) ?

Also title of the wiki page “Project presentation” sounds out of place. Could “About Syncthing developers” be a better title?

Good idea, feel free to reproduce this on the main wiki.

Sure!

Hmm, I dislike both titles:) ‘The Syncthing Umbrella’ as part of the dev sidepanel section?
