Blame it on me. I'm sort of restless in promoting our docs. I pushed to reuse the homegrown extension developed website to store the Guides and other community docs. I was aiming at 1/ an easier way to manage book/doc upload and release updates and 2/ good user experience for navigation and download, as when you use a book shop e-commerce website... At the reality check-point I have 1/ is OK and upload/management/display of guide is straightforward, but 2/ fell short, is unfinished (1). I didn't made any big-bang announcement or pushed on the extension website because of 2. I beg to wait a bit to let the issues be sorted out until we can re-evaluate the results. The 30 documents uploaded are a sample for evaluation, nothing is definitive. Community has its voice. So your remarks proceed. The name "extension" that very few knows about, is bad at least. But people can catch immediately if we rename it to "appstore". Right?
