Sorry, after sending the e-mail I realized that the link is not actually broken. Clicking the User's Guide link actually changes the menu on the bottom-left corner:<div><br></div><div><div><a href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/observer/users_guide.html" target="_blank">http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/observer/users_guide.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Since I had my browser half-opened, I could not see that it changed at all. That said, maybe we could change those blank pages to actually show the index or available sections in the guide?</div><div>

Browsing through Erlang docs I have noticed that many User's Guide links are broken. For example:<div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/observer/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/observer/index.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Clicking on the User's Guide leads to a blank page giving a false impression the page does not exist:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/observer/users_guide.html" target="_blank">http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/observer/users_guide.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>However, the page *does* exist and is located at:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/observer/observer_ug.html" target="_blank">http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/observer/observer_ug.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>This also happens with other applications, for example:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/percept/percept_ug.html" target="_blank">http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/percept/percept_ug.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>If someone provides some guidance, I can try to provide a patch to fix the broken links.</div><div><br></div><div>On another note, I have noticed that there isn't a page (or at least I could not find one) that lists all OTP applications and provides a quick summary about them. I believe such pages would be interesting because very often I discover new tools in OTP (today was <a href="http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/observer/etop_ug.html" target="_blank">etop</a>) and having a listing may make the discovery of such tools easier. If there is an interest, I can work on such page myself and submit a patch.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Finally, I am frequently amazed by Erlang docs quality, so I would like to thank those who worked/work on maintaing it. :)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse"><b><span style="border-collapse:separate;font-family:arial;font-weight:normal"><div>
