Make pages easy to find is always the first priority of wiki management.
I agree with you .
Openmoko wiki has thousands of pages, not easy to find everything.
So, we just made a Index page, every page will listed on it.
Then , I had made each wiki page of Openmoko had their own category 
since Feb, 2008.
These will help people easy to find the pages.
