[General] Updating the wiki

> + What features do people like about the current wiki?

I like the wiki-ness of the wikis. I always feel free to fix things,  
add notes, etc.

Attachments work really well, and help communicate ideas.

> + What features are missing from the current wiki?

Well I wouldn't call this "missing features", but.. I don't like the  
number of wikis. I think "Projects" and "Journals" should be merged -  
it doesn't serve any purpose to separate them. We can just have a top- 
level topic called "Journals" under which those kinds of things can  
go. If anything, we should have "Chandler" and "Cosmo" as wikis.

For the hierarchy issue, an automatic two-level tree of child and  
grandchild pages, perhaps in the left sidebar of the parent page  
would help a lot. The wiki has the information, it's just not being  
displayed. Is this a job for a plugin? Would it kill performance?

Also, I seem to be experiencing a bug with the latest wiki upgrade:

Apply grains of salt as needed.. :-)
