I know a lot of people that do not like the concept of

them into SmallWiki. Most people are confused with the folder, so I
tried to eliminate them in the current version. The comments of Ralph
Johnson made me think again and gives some more reasons to keep them, I
didn't thought of. Maybe we should discuss it this afternoon again ;)
I don't see any need for two concepts. Why not ask the user
whether a new folder should be a sibling or a child, in the
same way the old version let's the user decide whether a new
name should represent a Folder, Glossary, Page or Resource?
Instead, ask "Child Folder, Sibling Folder, Glossary or Resource"?
We could add markup syntax to let the user make his choice
explicitly and skip the question, but that's just an optimization.
