I hadn't seen System/Library, and it looks like it lacks what we are
trying to add, so I say we should carry on.
What I want us to have is a resource with a description of every entry
point - every verb, adverb, and conjunction.
Since related functions are often in the same script, it is reasonable
to group the descriptions by script. Then, as long as a search can get
a user to a script, they have a chance to find what they're looking for.
Arrangement by script would probably be the easiest way to create the
data too.
Once we have the descriptions, we can decide how to arrange them. I
would ponder that later.

Hmm...
Note that http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Library#Scripts_included_with_J
sort of wants a place to link to that talks about the system scripts.
I am not quite sure how to make that work with this table-of-everything concept.
Any ideas?
So far my best idea would be to break up that table into sections
(maybe a first letter thing? api/arc, convert, data/debug/demo, ... or
maybe just the top level classification...). It's a bit hard to digest
as a whole no matter how we organize it.
I also sort of want to make those system references link somewhere,
but that's a mix of motivation and insight, to do it right.
That said, I think we can expect to use code.jsoftware.com site search
for some indexing needs, as long as its performance stays good. But it
probably won't work for everything. We can also probably use category
searches for some stuff.
Thanks,
