Description
The current main qt doc page at doc.qt.nokia.com is outdated and because of this confusing especially for newcomers.
There's several discontinued products mentioned that should be removed so that live modules and components get better visibility. There's several versions of different doc sets but it doesn't clearly mark what are the preferred doc sets users should read. This clutters the page and confuses the reader.
It would be good to clearly mark the latest reference docs for e.g. Qt and Qt Mobility so that users pick the latest docs instead of older from this page.
Regarding Qt 4.7 docs it's very unfortunate and error prone that Qt 4.7 goes to rather old Qt 4.7.0 docs. For mobile developers they should always use 4.7.3 or 4.7.4 docs rather than this. These have several improvements for Mobile developers as 4.7.3 and 4.7.4 are the ones that are being shipped in Nokia devices. 4.7.0 was not being shipped to Nokia devices. It is not understandable that "Latest Qt 4.7 snapshot" is the one that users should pick esp. "Qt 4.7" is listed before that. It would be good to bold of otherwise highlight the docs that most probable users should be using for Nokia devices at the moment thats the link "Latest Qt 4.7 snapshot" but the term "snapshot" might sound something preliminary.
It would be good to remove the old Qt reference docs to another page called "Documentation archive". This would allow to clean and simplify the main page.
On the Add-On side there's outdated and unnecessary material:
- Teambuilder: is this anymore even a supported product?
- Qt Solutions: there's two links to a same page that simply have links to Qt Mobility and Qt Quick Componetns. These links are unndessary from main doc page as the reference docs for Mobility and Qt Quick Components should be directly available. Also the "Qt Solutions" themselves are already archived features.
- Qt for Maemo: Should link to MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan docs instead as of now.
Also in the bottom of the page there's old material for unsupported things:
- Qt Extended
- Jambi
It would be good to move these to a doc archive page too.
