Navigation and Top Level Indexes

Navigation by category

Our wiki categorizes pages strictly. This means, that you can use categories to navigate through content. Note that ...

  • Our category pages are not normally just indexes, but frequently have a hand-edited header, which highlight important information.
  • All documents are in one of these three categories: this makes it possible to browse
  • These categories are exposed in the sidebar
  • Note that these categories can be rather big!

Audience

Document Type

  • Manuals contains official Xen Project documentation
  • ManPage contains This section contains link to Xen Project manual pages that are generated from the Xen Project codebase
  • Overviews contains overview documents
  • FAQs contains Xen Project, XAPI, ... FAQs sorted by topic
  • HowTos contains Xen Project, XAPI, ... How To documents
  • Tutorials contains Xen Project, XAPI, ... tutorials
  • Example contains Xen Project, XAPI, ... examples
  • Compatibility contains information on compatibility
  • Glossary pages and definitions
