Sandbox pages look pretty good, thanks valiant.

I've been looking at the categories and existing pages.. I
started with 
an exercise of putting all our pages into the suggested
categories to 
see how they fit:
http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/User:Mindle
ss#Docs_in_Buckets

In doing this I found several admin/maintenance tasks that
didn't fit 
well.. so I drew up a new set of buckets and listed some
content that 
would go under each (which may or  may not be
subcategories).
http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/User:Mindless#Ne
xt_ideas
The main change here is Configuration -> Administration
and Maintenance 
(matches our forum for this)

valiant pointed out that some things under Usage, like
editing items and 
permissions, sound like "administration".  My
category for 
"administration and maintenance" is intended to
cover only 
administration of the application.. administration of your
items/data 
would go under usage.  We can make this distinction clear on
the main 
category page for admin/maint.

So, I'd like to propose these as the top level categories
under G1/G2.

Excellent work, thanks Alan!
+1 for replacing the "Gallery 1/2 ->
Configuration" link on the Main_Page
with "Gallery 2/2 -> Administration and
Maintenance".

And the rest makes sense to me as well.
