Updated TGB Hub on TDN

Hello everyone,
As some of you might have noticed, a new visual theme has been added to the TGB section on the Torque Developer Network.
Most of the criticism for the TGB section has been from the outdated or incomplete content though. While the visual revamp sweeps a lot of this under the rug so to speak by putting the old content in the archive, it would be great for people to go though old articles and get them compatible with the current version of TGB.
The current hub features 2 main sections, Tutorials/Guides and Behaviors. I think these are the main areas where our efforts should be focused. While the behaviors section has seen quite a bit of recent activity with a bunch of new behaviors being added, the Tutorials/Guides section is a bit on the lean side at the moment. Currently I am adding an Asteroids themed tutorial series that focuses on adding specific game elements via behaviors. Four bite sized sections have been added with around five more planned.
Feedback is of course appreciated although any lack of content discussion is not something my 1 man show can solve.

I find myself much to much finding a page with something I need then loosing it then having to re-find it. Just basic stuff too like how to get to find t2dSceneObject class functions then jumping to possible GUI profile values... The basic stuff you forget after you've run through the tutorials/mini games you know.

As a newer TGB developer I'd realllly like to see a general sitemap w/description of all TGB content......I find myself much to much finding a page with something I need then loosing it then having to re-find it.

Sitemapping a wiki is an irritating process since anyone can change any area of the wiki without updating the sitemap. There are plugins for some wiki architectures to auto-generate sitemaps, but the bigger the wiki, the longer it takes.
