I'd like to see this wiki be usefull as a wiki.
I know you guys don't like having navigation structure, but I just came up 
with an idea that would allow me to be happy/shut up..

You know how the table of contents is hideable?
give me a navigation tool bar that hides for people who don't like to be able 
to find what they are looking for!

That way, i can do a bit of work on the navigation system, and you guys don't 
have to see it if you don't want to!

My tone is gruff... yeah, sorry... I know it's probably not the best way to 
convince you all to include navigation helpers... the point is that every 
single page is it's own table of contents, it's own view on the entire wiki.  
Each wiki page should be somehow connected to every other wiki page, .. 

Your right that logical parent thing has limitations... but having one way 
links makes it so that there is apperantly only one llogical parent to a 
document...  

example:

foo has a link to blarny

bar also has a link to blarny

blarny has no links back! (or only one to foo)

User goes to blarny from foo, hits back button to go back... and never learns 
how to solve vis problem that was covered in blarny|!
