Yes, but then the references are needed as well. If everything is not well-organized, it may be the case that some information is simply not accessed, even though it would be useful.

All kinds of theories whether alcoholism should be seen as an addiction or an affliction or whatnot, are useful for the academic, but not so much as for the person who is looking for information / help. Given the purposes of the wiki and of Lifesupporters, it seems fair that the latter purpose takes precedence.

If we break it down to too many levels we run the risk of overcomplicated the resource and I want to make it as user friendly as possible.
Yes, but for which users?

I hope to have the wiki configured and working by this upcoming weekend so we can post a few issues and see how we like usability. We can also try a few different configurations just so we're sure we get exactly what we're looking for.
Sounds like a good plan.
