Sorry if I sounded snarky, I hate those, "I'm blog posting instead of commenting on your blog and keeping the conversation in one place" replies, and that was where I was coming from. I encourage you to name new pages according to a new scheme and take advantage of categories for information nesting and architecture. If you put all pages fake-nested or not in the same categories, they are all findable, and the others can be renamed in the future.

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY. YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE. Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed. The reason for the problem: 4.1.0 - Unknown address error 451-'4.3.2 Please try again later' :) Thanks for the guidelines. I know all about the naming issue; we had the same issues at Mandriva (moving from an old, nested wiki to mediawiki, which isn't nested, and explaining to people why a bunch of / in page names is not a good idea and they should change them all). For now, I'm not going to fight that battle too hard, as the QA space is already quite heavily fake-nested, and it'd be a big project to re-arrange everything. If I tie the 'make the pages nicer' project to the 'make the naming sane' project, it may take months before either gets done, which I'd like to avoid. I'll sign up for the list soon. Thanks again for the pointers. Not getting a password is probably something to do with this:
