Description
Documentation files are well handled by the extension site.
We need a global entry in the main menu for "LibreOffice Documentation", in the same level as "Extension" in the top header.
The menu entry must open the page

"Documentation" would be too narrowly considered. If we go with another navigation it would be Templates, Extensions, Documentation selected per dropdown where we currently just have Extensions. The tricky part on this change is the categorization which has to be in addition to the filter per tag system. Some effort but also a lot of benefits IMHO. More opinions needed => FEEDBACK.

Main category:
[LibreOffice] Documentation
Sub categories
- Books
- Quick Reference Cards
- Tutorials
- Miscellaneous
Lang Category too.
Note 1: I keep having extension authors tagging their extension with the 'Documentation' tag, and the extension is not a documentation itself (for example, an extension that helps inserting comments in documents). Having a tag 'LibreOffice Documentation' is supposed to make things clearer.
Note 2: It may happen that a document can be tagged in 2 different sub-categories (book + Tutorial)
Note 3: LO users may want to filter documentation by language.
Note 4: It will be nice to have a Silverstripe template to help create redirect pages with a query like the one in comment#0.

Sub "categories" should use the existing tag system where you can create any tag you like. If documentation creates many languages tags, for example, it makes sense to not show those at other categories.

- Subject changed from Menu entry for "LibreOffice Documentation" to Introduce "top-level" tags
- Status changed from Feedback to New
- Assignee set to Christian Lohmaier
Discussed in meeting and decided to have a list of tags at a prominent place (eg next to Search) to quick-select Templates, Documentation, and Dictionary. Discussed Extension controversially, so the list of "top-level" tags might change later and has to be flexible.

Time has gone. You may drop this demand.
The documentation communtiy did not like the way books were presented in the extension website and criticized to fact that books were seen or presented as extensions.
