Well, I think it should be modular and extensible, just like a good
library.  ;-)

I don't know exactly about a naming convention, except that the name of
a page should describe roughly what is on it.  For instance - 'NET2' is
a slightly obtuse name for a page.  I (as a newcomer) should be able to
look at the page name and see roughly what it is, preferably without
taking into account too much context.  So I suppose it also needs to say
something about where you are in the wiki.

I'm having trouble finding an exact good convention?  I think as long as
the pages are arranged in a fairly logical way, then it's all right. 
But a nice (and short) naming convention might be nice.

Dave.
