I think the Team structure is serving us well and Fred Grose has been adding/updating the tags. Enabling better search by eliminating CamelCase is probably the most important single action we could have taken. I agree that the team structure is great. The question is, subpages, namespaces,

The offered categories are not a taxonomy but rather a set of tags. Presumably activities would be tagged with multiple of these if appropriate. Have you ever looked at the amo site to see how the Firefox add-ons appear there? You can see add-ons under multiple of the descriptions they provide.
