Hi Mary.. I think it's really tough to make a separate Documentation 
page work; I've tried before. You always want just one more of those 
links on the front page where people will find the darn thing, and you 
end up reproducing the whole roadmap on the front page again.

I think the front page should usually be a roadmap to everything on the 
wiki, leading to all the major content with minimal clicks. I think 
documentation is major and should be well represented right on the 
front. As food for thought, here are two front pages I've worked on 
recently: http://joyful.com/squeak , http://zwiki.org .

Very good advice. I would just go to your home page and create 
MarysFrontPageDraft (eg) there.
