I do not use gmail.

But by nature, tags as in Web2.0 are no hirarchial (statistical ordering 
in tag clouds).

The administrator of wiki defines the categories. Users could make 
proposals.

I think we can have a look at the web2py manual. The table of contents 
could give us an idea what topics we are dealing with.

Let's not have this too complex:

The mother of wikis (wikipedia) has
* supra-structures: portals -- e.g. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Free_software

* under each portal you can find categories in which articles are 
grouped in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Free_software/categories

In our wiki:
Portal = future categories ( or topics, you name it)
Category = tag: already existing => the administrator just needs to 
match the tags into the specific categories.

The administrator (or better a script) would export the wiki in a fashon:

user_wiki/category1/pagetitle1
user_wiki/category1/pagetitle2
user_wiki/category2/pagetitle1
user_wiki/category2/pagetitle2

It's very easy in Sphinx to change page order:
=> move/rename the page and adapt the TOC.

This is my suggestion to solve this issue. But you are right. Converting 
the wiki into a user documentation is going from a non-linear 
thought-driven tool to a linear structure-driven tool with the aim to 
create a readable and accessible document.

I think this thread has clearly shown two things:
* many users feel that documentation is scattered around and therefore 
difficult to access
* documentation could be updated and improved
* there are users willing to contribute by
        * collecting info
        * writing artciles: blogs, wiki, FAQ.

Let's harness this motivation.

Kind regards,
Timmie
