Hi all,
(2nd attempt to post 2nd messge, sorry if this is a duplicate.)
We've started to document our thinking about page navigation, as part of a project to use mediawiki for hosting longer structured texts (such as books, or teacher professional development materials).
You can see an example of such navigation here: http://oer.educ.cam.ac.uk/wiki/OER4Schools where the red navigation box on the right lists all the pages belonging to the resource, and there are 'previous' and 'next' buttons. This list is automatically maintained, using the semantic extension.
It's documented here: http://oer.educ.cam.ac.uk/wiki/EWTE#Wiki_navigation_between_pages. with a simple example here: http://oer.educ.cam.ac.uk/wiki/EWTE/nav
In some ways, it's quite close to what you can do with the book/collection extension, and an example using that extension is given here: http://oer.educ.cam.ac.uk/wiki/EWTE/booknav
Would one of the maintainers of that extension be interested in having a look at the above links, and then be up for a chat, to see whether there is overlap?
Thanks! Bjoern
