I'm not saying it's terrible, so much as noting a disconnect between it and the more friendly blog portion. There are plenty of inline links on the main wiki page to the relevant content I might want to read but most people, at least me, rely on some form of navigation rather than trying to guess what to search for.
The main Wiki page has all the stuff there somewhere but once you leave it, good luck. I'm finding great stuff, three weeks in, but only randomly on a general Google search. I should be enticed into reading the entire wiki without having to open a hundred tabs, is all. All I'm asking for is for someone to add another half dozen items to the Navigation box. If I knew how, I would. I realize you rightfully don't want to take any steps backwards and would rather have perfection than any quick fixes but isn't a temporary bandage marginally better than an open wound that festers for years unattended? If I'm willing and foolish enough to keep unintentionally annoying anyone with such suggestions, this must be a real bothersome issue for me, one that I noticed day one and which should be easily fixable.
