Content from Meta
There is a lot of content on Meta that should be moved to this site. Please do not move pages by hand! There is a project to co-ordinate this move at meta (here's the link) which will give you full details. Once we are in a position to do so, the relevant pages will be moved here in a way that preserves their history.

Some discussion has been had regarding the layout of the Manual: namespace, but no formal decision has been made. Here is where prior discussion has taken place:
