Hi Garulfo,

also big thanks from me, especially for the enhanced preview images and 
the side-by-side layout option!
(Also thanks for Taco for their participation and continuous admin work!)

For me as someone who works with the wiki a lot, the restructuring needs 
adjustment – I knew to key in most pages that I need, now I must search, 
and the links (that I often share) got much longer.
I’m also not convinced that one hierarchical structure makes sense for a 
wiki – generally and especially for a complex system like ConTeXt (there 
are just too many subjects that fit in several places or nowhere) – 
while overview pages and interlinking are essential.

But you did the work, and I’ll get used to it. If it helps eliminating 
duplicates and outdated stuff, even better.

Hraban
