I see it's MediaWiki like ubuntu-za.org. MediaWiki doesn't
automatically make links from CamelCase, so most MW sites like
wikipedia don't use it but rather just [[make links out of ordinary
phrases]] (which would result in a page like
schoolforge.org.za/wiki/Make_links_out_of_ordinary_phrases).

If you have a lot of information under a specific topic, you can
create a namespace by using a /, like [[tutorials/openoffice writer]]
which would result in a URL with .../wiki/Tutorials/Openoffice_writer.

Don't hold back - just throw up content, and people can step in to
organise things to make sense of it...
