[Cooker] [WIKI] Wiki topical structuration

[Guillaume Rousse]

I'm regulary ennoyed by the way the wiki turns into a giant flat
collection of individual pages with too few relationship (apart insane
crosslinking to my-own-page-that-is-really-really-important). It leads
to duplicated content as new writer prefer to start a new page rather
than try to think about where to put what they need to say, and make
impossible for readers to find sensible information excepted by
searching for a given topic...

Some times ago, I tried some basic reorganisation of content related to
packaging, by creating a few topical pages, enforcing a unified naming
scheme,and linking all them together directly from the index page.
However, this is not enough: see how the new  'Build System' page
outside this hierarchy duplicates many content...

This is both an organisational issue (we should have topical sections
with someone in charge of ensuring coherency) and a technical issue
(those sections should be clearly identified, both for readers and writers).

I am volonteer for maintaining the packaging section, meaning trying to
keep everything related to this issue inside a logical, balanced and
clear structure. I was thinking about creating a top-level page for this
section, describing this organisation, with a few mention about putting
correct content into correct place, and asking me in case of doubt. This
top-level page would mostly include links to real content, meaning it
would replace the current link block at index page. ooes it makes sense
? And could wiki css-wizards try to design a specific look'n'feel for
this kind of structural pages, to clearly distinguish them from content
pages ?
