Generate the "global nav" automatically
Our global nav (left-side nav in docs.gitlab.com) is generated manually.
In our first iteration of the global nav, we tried to loop through all pages and generate the nav automatically. This could not be done because of the large number of pages to loop through and build the nav for each page individually. A few engs tried to help, with no success. Nanoc breaks and does not build. The attempt to implement it is here: !356 (closed), the commit history shows the different ways we've found to loop through the pages.
Now that we have a team of engs helping with the Docs Site, try again to generate the nav automatically.
We don't want to make it overwhelming with so many links though. We could build it in a way to show only a few levels of the file tree and add a button or arrow to navigate from and to the other levels of the file tree.
