Doing a search for Samba came up with about a dozen different articles that all dealt with slightly different derivations of the same concept. I wasn't too sure whether to make my own page up or just tack my link onto the twelve different pages. In the end I've added a link on the bottom of a few of the pages.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000DD"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000DD"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">Also there didn't seem to be an easy way of getting back to the start page or to the Categories pages without pressing the back button or editing the URL in the titlebar. </FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000DD"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">I guess in the end a little more visual hierarchy would have helped quite a bit in understanding where I was in the site.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000DD"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">For example a breadcrumbs trail: Home -> Networking -> Windows Networking -> SambaPDC</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000DD"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000DD"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">Don't get me wrong its a good idea but it just felt like it needed a lightweight category system sitting on top of the basic Wiki to help divide things out a bit clearer.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000DD"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">David</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000DD"></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
