So how is someinterwikithing:blabla different?  I just want it on a header
somewhere that people can see it,
will do. The point is that its not that difficult but that humans only 
use the 50% of
the features that are most obvious, and we should make it obvious. Agreed.

[blabla] == blabla wherever it is found.  If there are TWO blablas then it
would go to a "blabla is here - [cocoon:blabla] and here [tomcat:blabla]"
but if you did [cocoon:blabla] it would link directly to cocoon.  Same deal
as interwiki links but allows crosslinking to be easy while preserving
non-cross linking too.  Not that it is possible.
How about [[FindOnAllWikis(blabla)]]? Moin has something like that for 
searching
within a wiki, and I think we can adapt all of that pretty easily.

I just think we're
fragmenting the hell out of everything in general (web pages, wikis, mail
lists, etc) and pretty soon Apache will be a big mess of spaghetti if it
isn't already.  I mean I couldn't begin to explain to someone where to find
something at Apache, I just type the link for them that I've memorized...
Our web information is truly a jumble of mess.
+1. But stuff like that is not an infrastructure decision at all, nor is 
it mine. "Power
to the projects" seems to result in lots of per-project stuff. But to 
change that
principle...hmm. It is a cost<->benefit situation.

I'm not trying to be
inflammatory if its coming off that way, its just I deal with a lot of
normal people and we get out the message pretty poor because we try and make
the user learn how Apache is organized just to find a webpage.  I guess my
point has degraded...I'll stop.
I'm glad you did speak up though because you had some new insights to share.
 I just think things should be flatter and
more easily located.  Planet too.
+1. (Though I do want to go skiing sometime)
cheers!
