gollark: I've made (most of) this UI for viewing details on an incident report now. I'm not very satisfied with the layout though.
gollark: I may be biased but the network security page is good.
gollark: I figure it's not hugely useful linking to all the many, many individual function documentation pages. So maybe only the important functions, important *APIs*, or more freeform documentation for other stuff.
gollark: A link to the main page is useful, Yemmel's project idea list, maybe other things?
gollark: The CC:T wiki?
