Was the Pages module used to create static content? If so, how was it built out? Sorry if it’s a vague question. I’m just interested in setting something similar up for my site.
Thanks.

As far as I know, it’s just static HTML, not involving EE at all. Changes are submitted via CVS, and a new version is published every time a new build comes out.

Got it. Have you heard of anyone using EE to set up User Guide type functionality?
Basically, I have a site which is a collection of user guides. I’d like to be able to set up an EE template for a guide, then use that template to create multiple guides for the site.

Sounds like a good project. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any real life examples. The Stylesheet and Page template for EE’s docs are freely available, though.

Actually, LG’s Navigation is exactly what I’m looking for. Hopefully he’ll have some time to get it live.

Given that, do you have any idea how the user contributed notes work? Those appear to be tied to the membership system. I looked at the source directly from the server, thinking there might have been some JavaScript fanciness going on, but the user notes are delivered in the same HTML as the documentation page.
The initial introduction was documented in this blog post, but it doesn’t talk about the architecture.
Thanks!
