Hi João Ventura,

A structure in a wiki is a highly desirable feature.  Like most 
wiki's, the qt developer wiki has a "flat" file structure and 
any attempt to structure it differently is by necessity shallow.

I am a great believer in the KISS principle. The semblance of 
structure can be achieved very simply without messing up the 
category system by giving references to the "children" pages  
from a "main" page and the back references to the main page from 
the children page.

A tiny start in that direction can be seen by going to

http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/PySide_Newbie_Tutorials

and then visiting the children pages.  If you find the approach 
unsuitable, I would appreciate it if you air your concerns.  
Negative but thoughtful cricisim is  particularly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Al.
