Id propose outlining the basic hierarchy like so:

The bold words will be the page name.

The bit in [] just a note as to what it represents (not shown else). {} is a suggestion/something waiting to be filled out.

just a demo here, not meant to be actual organization:

• Manual [We anticipate multiple different types of manuals]
  • SpeciesFile [We can anticipate multiple "products" from SF]
    • Web [Particular to the web front end]
      • • {Some category}
  • Developer

Possible Higher Level Categories - Names are there as placeholders rather than my lobbying for or against and deserve more thought. See discussion.
