The problem I see is that if the current categories on the site remain, the user might have to visit several of them,
I think that the problem is we are not on a general purpose/hosting site, but on a MediaWiki. This mean several things: * anybody can start a page with his own layout. That was the case of the "user documentation". You may laike it or not, make a link to it or not, but you are not stuck to one layout only * but- you can't get rid of the sidebar, headers, footers that vaste a great part of the page. * you can't avoid learning part of the wiki way of life. This way of life is better know nowaday, but not yet enough. For example anybody have a personal page and can (and should) organise his page according with his habits. http://fr.opensuse.org/Utilisateur:Jdd_sysop but look at the page http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Listusers how many links are _not_ red? * using categories is one of the wiki way of life Given all this, the only really usefull way to find something on opensuse is the google link here http://en.opensuse.org/Documentation: Google search opensuse to find your word it's this: http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q=site%3Aopensuse.org&btnG=Recherche+Google&meta= this doesn't mean we don't have to reorder the wiki, but that it's normal to have one or two more levels on a wiki than on an usual site. if s/he wants to find something. As
an example: A user comes to the wiki and wants to find something about getting his WLAN-card to work.
try this on google: site:opensuse.org WLAN-card jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos
