 +We're debating organizing pages using Dokuwiki namespaces or tags (using the [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:tag|Tag plugin]]).  We're leaning toward tags because it makes for clearer URLs, but it also means page authors must remember to include tags on their pages!
 +
 +We can create indexes of both tags and namespaces (using the [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:nspages|nspages plugin]]), which will make navigation much easier.  The built-in Sitemap may get overwhelmed by all the root pages eventually, so namespaces will still be used for [[user:root|Wiki Users]] and [[projects:root|User Projects]].
