My new idea is to simply use straightforward names for naming wiki pages. This is not a "great" idea but it is simple and I like it.
Example WGO
Lets say we want to have a wiki page for each (potential) page of www.gnome.org. We then would just make page names like the site structure:
- and so on
Positive:
- This actually can reflect 1:1 what a site looks like.
Negative:
- If a page gets renamed we have to rename the wiki page (so what?)
Example gconf structure
We also simply reflect the Gconf structure 1:1 in wiki pages:
Summary
The beauty in this concept is its simplicity. You do not have to guess about pages. It would be possible to make wikis that just reflect that structure and then are called by InterWiki from live.gnome.org like
Gconf:desktop/gnome/menus/show-icons which would result into something like
So one would reuse the design pattern in a wiki that discusses the settings. As it is possible to share account information in a wiki farm it would be possible to have access to dozens of wikis if you registered in one wiki. I would guess that it would also be nice to be able to fill such wiki structure for a personal use automatically. So maybe the Evolution guys have their own Gconf wiki and discuss their settings there. Actually the InterWiki thingy is much the same as accessing a Gconf if you do it right.

What would we put on the wiki pages that correspond to WGO pages? -- Joachim
