We are still far from discussion about real wiki structure that is defined 
with our goals, needs and abilities of Mediawiki software. All I can see is 
going around that topic, which ultimately has to be touched. It is complex and 
requires a lot of work, but if ignored it will lead to the same mess we have 
now. 

I'll take 2 of Henne's comments as a base to think about the future:
- wiki is collaboration tool - it is not closed medium with tight flow control
- proposal of the structure - analyze of current status  

We have to research current flow of information, not only within wiki, but in 
general between projects (tight groups) and loose groups like developers, 
users, contributors. If we can't define/determine groups, then we are going to 
guess a lot and the result will be similar as it is now. 
 
After we have some flow diagram how that works (flow research volunteers?) 
then we can place wiki in that flow, so that we can define needs, see what 
methods has to be used to satisfy needs, what tools we have to add to the 
wiki. 

BTW, researching information flow can be done on current wiki.
Create roles and document step by step what you did to reach a goal. 
Create sample pages with ideas how it should work with sample links.
