It certainly sounds close - in fact, I wonder if the set of links to  
starter pages is essentially the same thing as your virtual manual  
table of contents, or at least should be.

I agree with this also: the word 'release' isn't right for this  
purpose, 'gateway' or 'topichead' would be much better. In this case,  
the 'release' label is no longer used, essentially - can a label be  
deleted in Confluence?
