Or dropped entirely from the developer section on the home page.  It is 
already very prominently on the home page.  It can also be linked to 
from the developer guide.

I want to leave that to linux/mac people to edit or change.  My own 
impression is that the title should be more like:

   [[Linux Compiling Step by Step]]

Or else the page should just be merged into the [[Developing On Linux]] 
page.  Leave it up to the people who know.  I gather that Linux and mac 
development are very very similar, so it may be that the mac pages 
should just say 'follow the steps for linux, except where it says XXX 
use YYY instead...'  rather than repeat all the information.


My suggestion is that if you think you see an improved structure that 
makes the navigation better and the front page better, just make the 
change.  Where on one of the subsidiary pages new material is needed, 
request it using an ''edit-hint:''
