I've just tried to use the new layout of the documentation
webpages for the first time. They are a lot less easy to
find your way around than the old pages, principally because
the menu bar on the left has so little information.
The old menu bar had the chapters listed in numerical order.
The new one has headings that do not correspond to chapters -
e.g. "about" which is the frontpage, "Installation" which
is most of chapter 3 (but chapter 3's title,
"Getting started and using the MITgcm" is much more illustrative),
"tutorials" which seems to be just chapter 3.8 and "documentation"
which consists of the rest. Why not have the menu correspond to
the chapter headings as before?
When you click on "access online-documentation" on the frontpage
you end up straight in chapter 1,
whereas in the old format you landed on a contents
page, with helpful descriptions of each chapter. This is very
helpful for someone who doesn't remember where to start...
