::That structure looks reasonable. My original idea with the "cookbooks" are to put a list of howto-do-stuffs in there. E.g a list of recipes in them - and have the "other" page contain the description. E.g "Windows" contains the description and "Windows cookbook" contains the recipes. I've found that the early contributions have been about "howto do stuff" (e.g something that should go in the cookbook). I can see now , that there should be no distinction between e.g "Windows" and "Windows cookbook" - they should be the same page. --[[User:Jka|Jka]] 09:38, 21 November 2007 (CET)

Wiki Structure Proposal

I (Mike) have just modifed the sidebar (the panel on the left of every page) to add "sections". (If any Sysop is not happy with this then it can be undone by editing the page MediaWiki:Sidebar, or by just reverting my changes to it.) I have used the sections as currently laid out on the main page, but I would like to propose a significant restructuring of those sections. I will take no action until there has been reasonable discussion of it here and a consensus reached however.

I would propose something like the following overall structure:

  • Main Page (Brief Product Overview)
    • Product Detail
    • Windows
      • CodeJock
      • OLE/COM/ActiveX
      • Reporting
    • Web
      • AJAX
      • JavaScript
    • Character Mode
      • DOS/Console Mode
      • Unix/Linux
    • Web Services
      • SOA
    • Databases
      • Embedded
      • MS SQL Server
      • Oracle
      • IBM DB/2
      • Pervasive
      • MySQL
      • ODBC
