Hi Raju,
I was confused at your posting this here (as opposed to a more techincal
list as most of the items on the wiki are largly non-user stuff) In the
context of 'users', I'm curious as to what you invision its use for
users.

I think 'there are n pages' is a good basic metric. As for MB, most
pages are pure text and thus takeup little MB (as oppose to say MPG).
I also pages taged by some general catagory and then to see:
X user pages, Y developer page or
X HOWTO, Y TIPS, etc

This brings up an interesting point. First of all, I do not know the
officialness of the wiki. What I mean is that I am not aware of a
psuedo-package name which would facilitate making a bug report. If its
in the BTS, it must be officially supported. I'd ask this to be fixed by
the powers that be and then file a bug report (or if you know the
package and can provide a patch then do so).
Actually, I like a simple 'index' page as most wikis are like the
internet before google (you have to know what you are looking for before
you search for it). Yes I know they have a 'search' but it doesn't help
me find things as easily as I'd like(this is about all wikis).
Cheers,
Kev
