If I'm reading this right (and in light of our previous IRC discussion), 
this would be a page for each title in the documentation suite, for example:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/Security_Guide

that would link just the versions of the Security_Guide (in all 
languages? or one page for each language?)

probably along the lines of the existing "Map" page that Publican generates

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/toc.html

I can see the usefulness of this when pointing people to a title and 
then allowing them to choose the relevant version and language for 
themselves. The directory structure is no obstacle here, as far as I can 
see; this isn't a problem for the Map page. The "per-title Map" would 
also be sitting in a directory above the docs themselves (whether in the 
web root, or in each language subdirectory).

The current Map page gets regenerated every time a document is added to 
the site; a per-title map could do the same.
