Documention Repository Update - Please read

Right I've added the ability to completely list all the articles in a particular category (helpful!) also I've produced a very basic online article creation page which will create an unmoderated entry on the website (basically it is there, but you can't see it), mainly because it is fairly abusable as it has very little checking, so I want to make sure no idiot screws things up by checking the submission over first.
Also there is some basic editing features in the works, I'm just trying to work out the best way (at this point, I have a pretty indepth system planned) to protect articles against any person editing it.
Also what categories do people want? At the moment there is only the root category, but I want to get some categories in there.. So suggestions?

Have done, but it's run off a SQL server database which I need access directly to the database because the system is so new some stuff has to be directly inputted into the database (read pain in the arse), additionally the system is being built to be commercial so I can't release the source at the moment. However a link to the site would be nice :).. Afterall I've linked back and anyone going to that site will have come through GG cause they will need the V12 engine to make use of the documentation that will sit there..Owen

The fonts are far too small. I'm using IE5 on my fiancee's PC, which only has a 15" monitor, but they're so small I can't read them.

IE allows you to override the fonts used on a web page. Click on View | Text Size, and crank it up to max, and see if that helps.

Owen: How about a section for "quick hacks". For people who would like to start editing but dont want to type in hundreds of lines of code. Example quick hack: change the player speed and jump ability. Little things like that.

Thanks for the work you've put into this - I know I'll be using it a lot :)

Wow, great idea - got a small suggestion for you. Could you put out to the side of each link the number of articles in that category? Then we could quickly see which ones have new articles in them if we wanted without clicking every link.Thanks for the work you've put into this - I know I'll be using it a lot :)
