Hi there,
coming from
here, I wanted to reactive this thread to possibly start a discussion about an improved structure of the
Wiki. My suggestion would be that the initial page is basically only a table of contents for the overall
Wiki. I can imagine that the structure could look something like the following. This is just a suggestion to get the discussion going. Please comment

I hope there is something useful in here
Oh yes, and my suggestion for a new
Wiki would be rather to minimize links back to the forum. Rather, it would be useful if it is the other way round, i.e., if content and discussion results from the forum is prepared for the
Wiki to be easily accessible for everyone. Maybe we can solve this link back problem by introducing explicit forum link sections.
