This is an interesting alternative to the wiki page
naming (breadcrumb) approach that was previously suggested. We need
to pick one approach as part of the navigation reorganization which will
change how some things are grouped.
I've been going through the wiki adding the
{{#eclipseproject:technology.higgins}} tag to the wiki pages to get the
consistent left-hand menu. It occured to me that we could use the 'Cateogory'
feature of MediaWiki to add a different dimension of organization to the wiki
pages as well. It is fairly unobtrusive, but can help people find related
items. I added this to a few pages so folks could see what it looks like.
Just add something like [[Category:Higgins Solutions]] to the bottom of a page,
and MediaWiki does the rest. See for example:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Category:Higgins
What does everyone think? Good idea? If yes,
then we could put everything into one big 'Higgins' category, or we could come
up with a (hopefully) short list of sub-categories in which to organize stuff.
Since categories are global across the Eclipse wiki, if we go this way, we
should probably use a naming convention of 'Higgins xxxxx' to keep things
straight.
