Some questions:

• Is there any benefit to having two easily identifiable but separate corpuses of documentation? Having a separate node type makes it ridiculously easy to write a query that extracts only the development documentation or only the user documentation. If they all share the same node type then we can only separate them by hand tagging them.
• Is it possible that we may want some special behavior, data or a toolkit that applies to dev documentation but not end user documentation? Having a separate end-user and dev documentation nodetypes would allow that more easily.
• Are there any security concerns in making pmdev documentation part of site documentation? The entire monk community is a reader of site documentation, not just the cabal.

Given these questions, I think it might make more sense to have a supertype "PmFaqlet" from which both "SiteFaqlet" and "PmdevFaqlet" inherit. Or alternatively, make "PmdevFaqlet" inherit from "SiteFaqlet". This gives us the most flexibility down the road.

On the other hand, I think it is more important that we move forward while the enthusiasm is high. If creating separate nodetypes is going to take an inordinate amount of time (more than a week), then provided we have a way to hand tag the pmdev documentation, I'd rather get something less than ideal now and clean up the mess later.

Best, beth
