All of these have been moved under one of the Review categories.

:K, hope pretty much everything is back in - I left out the Strategy guides on purpose, because I don't think they have a place in the "public face" of the Spring site (don't care if they're hidden somewhere). The reason is, the site is about the engine - I think it makes sense to also showcase which games are using it, but explaining those games is better left to the games one homepages, that's my opinion. [[User:Seanheron|Seanheron]] 12:20, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Maybe we should have a more general discussion of what should displayed by the site/sitemap ? Related to this is what should go in which of our "top-bar" pages. I would suggest:
*Present Spring as an Engine (currently [[About]])
*Present Games that use Spring ([[Games]])
*Enable people to install and use spring ([[Download]] for installation, [[FAQ]]aka Help for usage, ??)
*Support improvement and work on the Engine (is in [[Source Development]])
*Support work on content and games (This is also in [[Source Development]], but I think it should have an seperate page)
 
That would cover everything I think the Spring site should be about / display visibly.
: I've split Engine Devving and Game creation, cause I just think it's two very seperate things (just look in the forums!). A different possible split might be:  Coding <-> Artwork
