Title: Re: [higgins-dev] Reorganizing Higgins site/content (another tweak)

Should door number 1 be called Higgins Selectors (plural) since all three doors point to multiple things?

Oops. That was 
a typo. IDS was supposed to be “Identity Data 
Service” (see red correction below).

BTW, I’ve implemented tonight

wiki pages) in the staging area here: http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/ver2/index.php
