Without categories, there will be an ever-growing number of obsolete,
outdated and orphaned pages. This is not a problem for navigation from
the main page, but it will make the search functionality of the wiki
more and more useless.

Like:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/SOP/Wiki/Categories
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/User_Experience/SOP/Wiki/New_Wiki_Pages
for starters?
Yes, I think every new page should be in at least one category that is
a project (or a subcategory of a project).

Yeah, right. But I think ordering the categories is the second step,
first we will need to get stuff into at least one category and make each
category a direct or indirect subcategory of MainIndex. Then we can
really see whats there and consolidate. That being said, I already did
some obvious cleanups along the way (like merging the "Project" and
"Projects" categories).

Huh? MainIndex -> Project -> Markting -> Conferences seems pretty
straightforward to me. That being said those _are_ already listed on
the frontpage.
