...for the record, I didn't write that, so no, I can't elaborate on
what I meant, but it does sound rather insightful... :D  I have been
misquoted!  oh no, it's on the internet, it must be true!

As an observation, here's is what I think seems to of washed out of
this hijacked thread so far in terms of intent....

maybe we should have an "adopt-a-wiki-page" type thing, similar to
adopt-a-hack on track hacks.  "someone" can adopt a page, and either
be notified of changes by one of the notify type plugins, and have the
chance to "moderate" the changes. Or be given "exclusive" (by that, I
mean, in addition to all the people that actually maintain trac) to
edit that page specifically, and the edgewall site could create
"components" for each of the top level wiki pages (or a "suggest a new
top level topic" as well) for the purpose of people to suggest updates
to topic X, with topic "x" automatically getting a CC and choosing to
"close" the ticket.  If a topic doesn't have an owner, the top guys
can make the stub, update the ticket so the post has the option to
adopt it, or someone else can adopt it.

Also, we could, for example, "standardize" on a convention for recipe
naming:
SomeWikiTopic/Recipes/HowtoDoSomethingCool
SomeWikiTopic/Recipes/HowtoDoSomethingMoreCool
SomeOtherTopic/Recipes/HowtoDoSomethingLame

so each topic could have a topic specific "Recipies" TitleIndex
section in it somewhere.
Some top level page could collate all "*/Recipies/* pages

etc.

What'cha think?

[note: long winded example follows:]
The Recipe pages could also link to their parent, or EVEN have sub
recipes:
ApacheSetup/ModPython/Recipies/Windows
ApacheSetup/ModPython/Recipies/Windows/Recipes/LDAP
ApacheSetup/Recipies/ModPython/Windows
ApacheSetup/ModPython/Recipies/Ubuntu
ApacheSetup/WSGI/Recipies/VirtualServers
ApacheSetup/SubversionAuth/Recipes/httauth  etc.

Now, for the sake of argument.  Lets say we used the ticket idea
mentioned above.  I need some information:
I find ApacheSetup
I find there is a recipe for modpython on windows
I find there is a sub-topic page on WSGI
I see there Isn't a sub-topic page on WSGI on windows, or recipe page.
I use everything I get from the main apace topic, the wsgi topic, and
the modpython recipe to get close.
I go to the usergroup, get some help to find out how to get the
details working out.

I go the the ApacheSetup/WSGI page, click the link for "request a
change or correction to this page" (I am assuming we put them on all
the pages in this model)
I get a ticket, with ApacheSetup-WSGI as the component.  somewhere I
can fill in something that says RECIPE (keyword, new type, custom
field, whatever)
I "suggest" a new recipe: I wiki format an Apache/WSGI/Recipes/Windows
page, with all that I learned.  The owner of the page, (if already
adopted) can moderate this info, maybe contact me, and very possibly
choose to add it to the the WSGI/Recipies/Windows page.  They could
even offer to have ME become the owner, or "abandon" that particular
sub page, letting myself, or someone else adopt just that recipe.
I am on windows

Or in short form, Lets have topics be parents of recipes.  If there
isn't an appropriate topic, there probably should one.  ?
