Hi!
I think that it is absolutely necessary to separate user's
documentation from developer's documentation; otherwise this wiki will
stay unnavigable for normal users. I also think that this is doable,
as there mostly is a clear difference between developing software and
using the software. I can't imagine in which areas it would be hard to
separate them. Can you tell me on which pages you think this could
cause problems?

As for the namespaces: I know that they are normally used differently
in many wikis, I just thought it would be a good idea to use them to
separate content. If we don't use them I think we must come up with a
different method of separating the content.
