I'm looking at the wiki growing with pleasure, but the main page worries me as it's growing very long.
I'm afraid at some point the number of links/categories on the main page will get so long as to become a turnoff to readers and future potential editors (adding stuff isn't worthwhile when your input gets lost among a ton of different topics/links on a single page).
The solution seems evident ; reorganize the page to better categorize content, add main sections and maybe format it with a table to make better use of the screen space to the right which is currently left empty due to the vertical layout of the links.
However, implementing it in a way that satisfies everybody and is somewhat future-proof requires some thought and a group discussion as to what everybody wants the wiki to become. This is not something that should be done on the spur of the moment by a single user, imposing his choices and/or risk being the target of the displeasure of the wiki users if he/she does it in an unpleasant/unplanned manner.
Anyone care to share thoughts/ideas/comments on the matter? How should it be done?
