Clean up Edubuntu Homepage

[David Groos]

I'm looking for some guidance on how to name a wiki page.  I'm guessing this
is the base: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/ but what categories should I use,
and what hierarchy?  For example, here's a page I made last summer:
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/ManageGroups and added to in Feb 09.  Is that the
correct name or should it be in a category such as 'software', 'management',
'pedagogy'?  This page looks great:
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Edubuntu/Wiki/SiteMap.  I don't see where I would
put in the info, though.  I want to make a how to page on installing
software (such as CmapTools) on to an LTSP chroot that requires the use of a
graphical installer.

Thanks to the many who've recently worked on improving our wiki, and
ace_suares esp. for your clarion call.

David

PS--how come when I was on this page
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Edubuntu/Wiki/SiteMap anonymously, It had the cool
edubuntu logo, when I logged in it became the kinda boring Ubuntu logo?
