Basic Layout of Documentation on the i2b2 website


On the Software page of the i2b2 website (http://www.i2b2.org/software) there is a section called "Documentation". Within this section there is an image of a hive and attached to each cell you will find the available documentation specific to the cell.


When you hover over a cell a pop-up menu will appear listing all the documentation available for that cell.

  1. It would be handy to have unzipped copies of the documentation hosted on i2b2.org

    Then the titles here could be actual links to the documents.

    My group's internal wiki would also benefit from being able to link directly to the documentation.
