yes. there are some proposals on the table, ranging from simple to futuristic....
I think we should concentrate on the simple one for now, maybe by creating an experimental block to work on a prototype?
We could copy the existing docs there, assign unique IDs to them and start playing with trails.
Having permanent IDs leaves room for the futuristic stuff to emerge.

Some form of topic map would be useful to build "what's related" info though, which helps navigation and discovery a lot.
