The biggest problem for a newbie is navigating the wiki
in fact, better use the search feature - on my opinion, google search
is even better (I setup one on my own page:
http://fr.opensuse.org/Utilisateur:Jdd_sysop).
I think the gentoo example you did are not better, far from, than our
one, and you missed two important points here: gentoo is mush older
than we are and I don't think there is really a sort of version number
or distribution with gentoo (after all, we have to compîle all by
ourselves)
I don't think also gentoo is at all for newbies, we are.
As the wiki stands at the moment we have quantity over quality,
we have two sources: the suse book, very well organised but somewhat
limited, and the wiki, made as it's writers do it.
Don't think I underestimate your point. It's very important to have a
well organised wiki, but all the previous tentatives failed (partly)
In my opinion, we must have (and in fact we have) some "one subject by
page" pages and "indexes" pages. Any too big a subject should be
subdivised (subpages are a good way of doing so).
And we can have as many indexes as the users need. One day or an other
we will have a main page different from the one we have now (I don't
say now)
The center part will be organised by user categories or user needs,
leading to corresponding indexes. For example:
* by level: newbies, intermediate, experts
* by need: before install, during install, after install, dealing with
updates, desktop work, server work, refinig...
and "using the wiki" because one can (as I did) make his own home page
his index :-)
