[wp-docs] The main page.

[Andrea Rennick]

I was referring specifically to training material for users hosted on
someone else's network installation. Whomever hosted the person needs to
support them - not the codex.

I'm perfectly fine with a section explaining, for example "here's what users
in a network experience". that's quite different, as someone setting up a
network of sites can offer a multitude of plugins & themes for their users,
each different from the next host.

Think of it this way - if that same user, hosted on Joe's multisite network,
is paying Joe to host him, if they show up in the wp.org forums looking for
help, not only is there nothing I can do to help him, I have no idea what
options he has available.

And if it were me in change of a network, and my users were showing up in
the wp.org forums looking for help? Yes, I'd want them pointed back to me.

You can use wordpress.com as an example there too - while it's mentioned in
the codex, the codex is not the place for support docs for those users. The
codex is for documentation for people *running* the network.
