So the proposal is:
Exploring Higgins <http://wiki.eclipse.org/Exploring_Higgins>
- Higgins <http://wiki.eclipse.org/Solutions> -based Solutions - (which is actually a renamed version of the current solutions page without the "door info")
- http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/Client-Overview-1.1.php <http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/Client-Overview-1.1.php> convert to wiki
- http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/WebSvc-Overview.php <http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/WebSvc-Overview.php> convert to wiki
- http://wiki.eclipse.org/IdAS_Solution <http://wiki.eclipse.org/IdAS_Solution> <-- bad page anyway
- Components <http://wiki.eclipse.org/Components>
- Data Model <http://wiki.eclipse.org/Higgins_Data_Model>

Mary,
What I meant by “explode” here [1] was to “get rid of” the umbrella “solutions” menu item and replace it with three separate “door” menu items (Higgins Client, and the other two.)
I’m trying to flatten the nav hierarchy by removing the top level umbrella term over the three “mini” umbrella terms. We introduced the three mini umbrellas, and I think successfully so. Now we should take advantage of these three by eliminating the over-arching “solutions” term and delete these two pages:
Why? Because their content is duplicated (and therefore in conflict with) these three new mini umbrella pages:
- http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/Client-Overview-1.1.php
- and the other two overview pages (which should all become wiki pages so they will be more up to date)
As Hank suggested we can put the “Higgins-based solutions” (e.g. By IBM, etc.) on its own page and in so doing actually elevate that content.

If we break the left solutions nav out into 3 pieces (representing the three doors), we are still left with what content to put in the umbrella solutions link. We could just leave the real world solutions content on the general solutions page and move the "door specific" content to the three breakout pages.
