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 the OuroDev community's ongoing efforts to clean up and modernize the City of Heroes (CoH) code. It is a stable base for server owners to deploy, and is based off of Issue 24 (stylized as i24), which was the last publicly accessible version of the game before it was shut down.
