>From my experience the structure of a Wiki automatically derives from the
content added and how people connect and link pages. OSGeo already has
categories and might in future also have for name spaces. I have no
experience with name spaces but am eager to find out. As it is a Wiki
whoever feels like it can start to add them like Markus did with
categories half a year back. It will also make it easier to track
translations. I will help to find out how to.
