Maybe I have missed it during the endless namespace discussions, but do we have proof that the "casual visitors" are indeed the majority?
Does that show us the problem namespaces are trying to solve?
The goal was to solve the issue of casual visitors using the wiki search and finding information that isn't user oriented documentation, right?
The goal was to serve visitors better (more fitting), high quality content. So we separated the content by 3 user groups (following the bento concept) into namespaces * Users (main) * Contributor (opensuse) * Community (help) and made one the default (Users) because we believe that this is the largest group that gets served by the wiki. We then concentrated on standardization with templates (page, messages, media) and a standardized navigation with Portals, Navbars and Categories. The last aspect of the whole transition is the QA check for the most important namespaces with the FlaggedRevs extension that allows a nice mixture of accepting contributions by default and reviewing them. The search is one topic of the whole transition. Its was never the goal. You can read all this on Portal:Wiki which is linked from the Main page :) Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.
