But can we arrange the home page of Haskell.org so that a new and ignorant visitor can simply look on the visible page (without prior knowledge) and know where to go?
Yes, yes, go ahead and change the page as you like. Getting it just right is harder than it seems, though. Meanwhile I shall admonish contributors to bear in mind that our first audience is those expecting a web-site on Haskell and not necessarily interested in this "wiki" thing.
And can there be some information readily accessible that explains what categories are, and how to use them and add to them?
I'm hoping readers will just click on a category page and see a little index of relevant articles, and understand what it's about. I can edit the structure of category pages if necessary. Nevertheless it may be appropriate to make it clearer on the front page whether or not a link is a page with actual content or merely one of these indexy-things. Editing the website, on the other hand, takes us in MediaWiki territory. More prominent links to editing help on Wikipedia might be appropriate; strictly speaking I can't just copy it across for copyright reasons. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA WWED? http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/
