I don't feel i totally understand this. Maybe due to my lack of  
knowledge of the wiki system. I hope it comes.

I can create wiki pages and the emails get through. So that's good. I  
will properly have more questions about things. I hope to solve  
things along the way.

Did i say that? I don't know that standard, but i guess it's ok. What  
i may have said in a former email was maybe about having a headline/ 
header called FrontPage in all folders. It would be like haveing the  
first headline in each chapter in a book called \\Begin\{Chapter\}  
instead of something that relates to the content of that specific  
chapter. IMO.
