Archive of Navigation Ideas

From GSLISWiki

This page has a collection of old ideas for helping people navigate the wiki. Let me know if any of these were/are useful. You may want to look at the Category Navigation page as well.

Other things we have tried:

• Hitchhiker's Guide to the Wiki
  • Impossible to keep up-to-date
• Category Navigation
  • Similar problem. Also unsure how much detail to provide.

If you have any better ideas for organizing the information on the wiki, please let me know: ifloyd2@uiuc.edu
