What's the reason to keep the /web/ part?  I mean, is it something
to do with the way the server is set up?

In terms of the documentation / user experience, I don't think
that having /web/ adds anything; it just makes the URLs four
characters longer.

They can't be directly inside web, because that gives us
  /web/learning.html
  /web/learning/index.html
conflicting with
  /web/learning    <-- this is used for the language selection thingy

This problem doesn't manifest with the normal "make doc"; it only
occurs in the docs on lilypond.org.

When somebody opens a zip of all the lilypond pdfs, we want them
to open lilypond-general.pdf (or lilypond-web.pdf ?) to get to the
description of manuals.  What name most looks like "start here" ?

I have no particular feelings on this, one way or the other.  I
just remember that we asked the question last June or so, and
either nobody gave any strong reasons one way or the other, or
nobody cared.
