How to translate and update/adapt the user guide in a smart and collaborative way?

hi all - slight aside to this thread but related to user guide

I am not sure if the proposal above is going ahead, but I just want to raise a concern about the current structure . .

in responding to this post about buying groups, it made clear to me that we might need to revisit the user guide structure / platform. It’s full of utterly awesome content thanks to @sstead, but its hard for me to find things even when I know that they’re there somewhere. It would be pretty amazing to have something with smaller linked pages that could be tagged or searchable. I know that the balance between book-like structure (with next / previous) and loose taggable has always been a problem, but I just wonder if it would be worth another look before a major overhaul of the wordpress. If this is not a problem for others just ignore me. Perhaps it could be resolved by breaking things into smaller nested pages and making it searchable?
