Sounds good. However, I am apprehensive of the Style pages only because they are _very_ interwingled and some of the content linking to it may be dead, misleading or plan confusing primarliy since many of these pages have a lot of old and ongoing discussion items. Wikidocs pages should not include discussions IMO but it's fine if they link to them. The distinction being that newbies should be able to easily discern what is "currently official" and what things are still being discussed; potentially joining the dialog.
We certainly can't avoid doing this on every page but I would like to make sure we have this on wikidocselt Style pages and major items they touch (i.e. AdvancedRelationships).
Also, keep in mind that while the CategoryTerminology pages are very interwingled and they don't need to be wikidocselt; they should be reviewed as we're checking other pages.
A few more comments. Nothing should follow CategoryX at the end of the page; doing so interferes with adding catagories and indexes. Adding a link to the original page on a wikidocs candidate is unnecessary. Part of adding the page to wikidocs implies that the content has been updated and the static page is out of date.

Hmm, that's a difficult one. WikiDocs is a project that evolves in steps
of mothns or half-years. But then you cannot wait that long with the
release.
Here are some thoughts on the matter:
Which pages do you need to be wikidocselt exactly? And most of all *how
many* I suppose 20 new pages is ok, 50 might not. By new I mean pages
which were not in the wiki a month ago.
I have worked a bit on some products pages (added the virtual structure
and modified them a bit). I think those are already better than the static
html pages. So, from the content point of view, these pages are ready.
Although the virtual structure should be added to the most important
product pages.
From the wiki point of view, these pages are mostly only interwingled
within themselves. I do not know how much of a problem this is. If the
pages are good (which most of them are) and prominently shown on the main
page (which they will), then WikiZens will start to refer to them. Maybe
one or two of them will die, but then they could be de-wikidocselt.
Then there are pages like the style guidelines which already are alive.
Here we might need someone checking for typos and wrong information and
then wikidocsel them all.
And finally, the links will work and the pages will show, whether the
pages are wikidocselt or not. The presentational pages must be wikidocselt
for the next server release, but it will not hurt if informational pages
have the "This is directly taken from our wiki" bit.
Wolfsong, what do you think about this?
