Hi, Rob

Of course I looked at the enhanced doc, but I didn't tell you anything because 
I thought you wanted to finish it before.

I think you should put this link on the main page of the wiki so that people 
see it.

Here are my remarks:

1) You should put symbols in rows and not in columns.

Instead of:

Event   Property    Methods   Constants
xxxx    xxxxx       xxxx      xxx
xxxx    xxxxx       xxxx      xxx
xxxx    xxxxx       xxxx      xxx
xxxx    xxxxx       xxxx      xxx

I suggest you do that:

Event
xxxxx     xxxxxx    xxxx
Property
xxxxx     xxxxxx    xxxx
Methods
xxxxx     xxxxxx    xxxx
Constants
xxxxx     xxxxxx    xxxx

So that it takes less space on the page.

2) You should use a clearer image to show static symbol (I made a simple 'S' 
on the main wiki)

3) You should remove "(class)" after the title of a class. It is not useful, 
and you see "_(class)_" in the "ReferenceBy"

4) .Array is not a "child" class of "Application". See "gb core" doc.

5) Symbol inheritance don't work for Array classes.

6) When a symbol has no page, you must create a void one. Example: Control.Id

That's all at the moment :-)
