Hey All,

I tried to make the jclouds wiki front page useful but ran into some problems 
with MoinMoin nav (or lack thereof).

It's necessary to be able to navigate to all of the pages from a central point 
(the front page) on the wiki. To do this I tried several macros.

== PageList(jclouds) ==

This sort of works. But it relies on the fact that the title of every page 
needs to include the word "jclouds". If we were to use this it would require us 
adopting that convention.

It would be nice if PageList worked with URLs so we could say "list everything 
under https://wiki.apache.org/jclouds/"; but I tried several things and 
according to HelpOnSearching [1] it doesn't seem to be supported.

== Navigation(siblings [, max]) and Navigation(children [, max]) ==

I really thought these would work but putting them in the front page did 
nothing.

== Manual ==

We could manually add link to the front page as we create pages. However, this 
requires remembering to do it but it could be feasible as there won't really be 
all that many pages on the wiki.

Does anyone know of a better way to do nav in MoinMoin?

Thanks,
Everett
