I still need to go through all of these again, but here are the filenames I'm using.
readme.refractasnapshot.txt
readme refractainstaller.txt
readme.refracta2usb.txt

Great! Now I can set the links. But the test site will still be a bit crippled until you make the final corrections and I can actually add the files.
How do you want the links grouped? By application or file type? This:
refractasnapshot.conf
snapshot_exclude.list
refractasnapshot readme
refractainstaller.conf
installer_exclude.list
refractainstaller readme
refracta2usb readme
Or something like this:
refractasnapshot readme
refractainstaller readme
refracta2usb readme
refractasnapshot.conf
refractainstaller.conf
snapshot_exclude.list
installer_exclude.list
Or something else. Those links of course following the release notes and package list.
May the FORK be with you!

More or less in order of importance or the order in which you'd use them:
refractainstaller readme
refractasnapshot readme
refracta2usb readme
refractasnapshot.conf
refractainstaller.conf
snapshot_exclude.list
installer_exclude.list
The current readme files are in the testing folder at ibiblio.

Grabbed the files. They are now uploaded to the test site. Are we there yet? Or any other tweaks?

Almost there. Still have to give you corrections and additions on the release notes. Still have to rewrite the home page blurb. Some of that will come from your first post on this thread, I think.
Anyone have any input or feedback on the list of links under Related Resources?

This:
http://www.saynotogmos.org/ss/refracta/resources.html
?
If yes:
I would remove craigevils gigantic list
I am not sure about how-to-compile-the-smart-way
Both give the impression as if one would need to do things which one (usually) doesn't need to do.
I would add:
http://www.debian-administration.org/
http://ask.debian.net/
irc.oftc.net #debian-users (yes?)
and i think i would add
http://antix.freeforums.org
for more than just one reason (it has a similar purpose, the forum is friendly towards all kind of questions,shitloads of good tips in the tips/tricks secion ... well: i also think it doesn't hurt to advertise for it. )
Uwe Hermann's blog has good info too.
-
in general i think it is better to not give too much links. I for one am only getting confused by such and give up completely. If i would be able to understand 1/3 of this:
http://www.debian.org/doc/
i would consider myself to be a guru.
So i herd u liek mudkip?

@fsmithred . . . Have you thought any more about the version numbering? What you decide will affect how the release notes are titled (currently Release notes 7.00). Maybe there should be a sentence at the top of the documentation page clarifying the version that the docs are for. Then we could just use release_notes.html for the file name and also for the title of that page.

Yes, "release_notes.html".
"These notes are for Refracta-7xx" or something like that.
That kinda leaves it open to later replace the xx with anything.
Edit: Not clear. "Replace" refers to changes in the iso file's name, not changes to the web page.

Roger that. Will change release_notes_7.html to release_notes.html and fix corresponding links.

When you decide how you're going to name the iso, I'll add that note to the top of docs page. The same numbering should also be used on the title of the release notes page which is currently "Refracta 7 (Wheezy) release notes"
I'll leave it up to you to sort through nadir's resource links suggestions.

Corrections and additions to release notes:

Edit: I think you already fixed a couple of things I listed.
