tip for links in the Twiki

Hi to all those who edit Twiki pages,
At the Cambridge meeting, several people noted that it was getting hard to
find specific documents in the Twiki. This is due to the fact that
related bits are appearing in different pages with no links between them
(e.g. the Meeting working group pages vs. the general working group
pages).
I've started using the following pattern at the top of pages I regularly
edit (e.g. http://www.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/IVOARegWp03):
*Links:* IvoaResReg :: [[http://www.ivoa.net/forum/registry/][registry
mail archive]] :: InterOpMay2003ResReg :: ResourceMetadata
---+ RegistryWorkingGroup
---+ Work Package 3 (Rwp03): Metadata Specifications
__Contents__
%TOC%
The important bit is the first line where I briefly provide links to
related pages. (Note that TwikiWords automatically get rendered as a
link.)
I'll also point out that the bottom of all Twiki pages contains links to
"Parent" pages; however, the parentage is not always what you might
expect. In any event, it won't necessarily get you to where to need to
go.
cheers,
Ray
