dividing up the wiki?

I'd say these are valid use cases for Wiki - and I'm not saying we can't
do better job to make sure people understand which of the above sections 
they are. But we have bigger problems - after years, even these, previously
valid uses got too outdated, that it probably does not make sense to store
them (I know, wiki & history), or at least not be visible to search (has
anyone ever tried to use it at all ;-)?.

So for me, the first step would be to clean up old mess, make search 
available again, review current information (especially for stuff that's
in the main categories). Having some way to sort out information would
cherry on top of our wiki to make users happy :)
