TODO: Adapt the structure of the main page to move Howtos to their own sections, and also consolidate specific component topics. I sent the below suggested basic structure to TMC earlier. This is simply a concept for content and organization, and it doesn't have to be followed to the letter, but these are my thoughts in any case. --Bevinsky

# i24 and i25 are very similar. Instead of having separate pages

Volume 2 is the main focus of OuroDev's ongoing efforts to clean up and modernize the City of Heroes (CoH) code, completely open source. The current version is "''Issue 2: Foundations of Tomorrow"''
# - other dirs, such as C:\coh_data\attributes?
