Remove /Tasks and References to Docbook from docTeam wiki?

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I think we have pretty much finished editing 

I'm fairly chuffed with my formatting (i think) but 
1.  Does it make sense to a fairly noobish person?  If not does that matter?  If yes then congrats to the contents editor

2.  how can i view the history of recent changes to just that page?  

3.  the heading 
"Getting a copy of the documentation development branch"
could do with being a lot shorter.  It's the only one stopping the ToC being a lot slimmer.  A lot of the other headings could do with being shorter too but that's the main tl;dr

4.  Any suggestions on how to handle the coding bracket that wont float under the ToC?  There is a lot of white-space in the middle of the paragraph and it looks odd.  perhaps a few floating pics or icons off to the left?  Perhaps a table to other areas of documentation?  

Regards from
Tom :)
