:I think we probably need a single person (oops: that would be you... ''sucker!'' You have only yourself to blame!) to head-up work on structure, accessibility, cross-indexing and the like. We have made a big step forward with Categories, giving us the three tools you mention: Structure, Search and Categories... ''now'' let's talk '''''namespaces!'''''

::Given that [[User:Hellboy1975|Matt]] has proclaimed himself 'category enforcer' - then I think he could lead the overall structure on the wiki ;) --[[User:Jka|Jka]] 11:45, 5 December 2007 (CET)

:::That's fine, I'm happy to take on the roll of structuring the site for now.  My first goal is to make the main page a bit more accessable, and then each of the main categories (Web, Windows, Character Mode, DD's and Development Tools).  I guess my plan with these pages at the moment is to make the more structures, in much the same way as the Main Page on Wikipedia [[User:Hellboy1975|Hellboy1975]] 00:25, 6 December 2007 (CET)


:Actually, namespaces require modification of the LocalSettings.php file on the server I think, so adding them is non-trivial (i.e. down to somebody with OS access to the server: Jacob, Johan or Sture, etc.) and thus they are a blunter and less flexible tool than Categories, but worth thinking about, in a background sort of way. I have two other MediaWikis set up that I can play/practice on (but they are hosted on ''real'' operating systems [[Image:Smile.gif]]), and if you are going to do that stuff I suggest you set one up for yourself, if you have not already - the software is a snap to set up, at least on Linux. Actually, several of us might consider doing that just to take periodic back-up copies of VdfWiki onto... just a thought.
