Initially, we made extensive use of Categories. Over time the use of
Categories lapsed and an informal grouping of pages would happen based
on page naming e.g. IBMServices, IBMHardware etc. "IBM Services", and
the like, were avoided. Hyphens might just become the in-thing!

Sub-directories, e.g. IBM/Services, exist but are pretty rare.

Are you saying that in Moin2 you can directly add a PDF (or JPEG, PNG
etc.) to the wiki rather than as an attachment to a page? I can't get
past the idea of pages being first class citizens and attachments being
second class (at the same level as sections within a page).

I'll need to checkout Moin2 and give it a spin.
