[aerogear-dev] New Site - Status

[Matthias Wessendorf]

A few more:

* Modules  -> what are the thoughts around having a TOC ?
* Docs->Road Map --> should that be its own tab on the navigation bar? Not
sure I'd really consider a roadmap as a doc (e.g. howto)

On
* Docs->API Documentation and Specifications

It lists: AeroGearCore Specifications
=> IMO all of these for Android, iOS, Cordova and JavaScript are really API
Docs, and not Specifications.
Same for "AeroGearPush Specifications"
