I think that the problem is we are not on a general
purpose/hosting site, but on a MediaWiki.

This mean several things:

* anybody can start a page with his own layout. That was the
case of the "user documentation". You may laike it or not,
make a link to it or not, but you are not stuck to one
layout only

* but- you can't get rid of the sidebar, headers, footers
that vaste a great part of the page.

* you can't avoid learning part of the wiki way of life.
This way of life is better know nowaday, but not yet enough.
For example anybody have a personal page and can (and
should) organise his page according with his habits.

but look at the page

http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Listusers

how many links are _not_ red?

* using categories is one of the wiki way of life

Given all this, the only really usefull way to find
something on opensuse is the google link here

http://en.opensuse.org/Documentation:
Google search opensuse to find your word

it's this:
http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q=site%3Aopensuse.org&btnG=Recherche+Google&meta=

this doesn't mean we don't have to reorder the wiki, but
that it's normal to have one or two more levels on a wiki
than on an usual site.

 if s/he wants to find something. As

try this on google:
site:opensuse.org WLAN-card
