In the top level wiki page [1] we could reorganize the links in section
   "PETSc Development Workflow"
such that we link to one page per topic, e.g.
  [Configuration and Convenience]
  [Branching]
  [Integration Branches]
  [Quick Summary]
A bit of fine-tuning with respect to the granularity of the topic pages 
is probably necessary. We could, for example, get rid of the [Quick 
Summary] page and instead put a 'Quick Summary' section at the top of 
each topic page.

Best regards,
Karli
