splitting LaptopTestingTeam by Make

[Jonathan Jesse]

I think that over complicates things.  Plus a lot of broken links throughout
the rest of the wiki.  There should be some clean up

Duncan (et al),

As an avid user of both Laptop and general hardware areas....

My preference is to simulate a folder.

Ergo:

LaptopTestingTeam/Laptops  would be the main container.  
e.g. 

** Manufacturers **
 * Dell
 * HP
 * ...
 * Miscellaneous/All Others

Each item in the list links to a manufacturer page. e.g.
LaptopTestingTeam/Laptops/Dell/
That page has links to each model on a big table or list.

e.g. /LaptopTestingTeam/Laptops/Dell/Inspiron9000

Right now there are roughly 544 entries which are in two separate formats:
e.g. 
LaptopTesting/Dellinspiron630m  
vs
LaptopTestingTeam/AcerAaspire1312LC

>From a wiki search point of view, I'm not sure it matters as you scan down
the list to find what you are after.  However, it might be interesting to
think about something completely different than what I described:

Main Page with Manufacturers
 - Unique Page for each Manufacture which lists ALL models and info, heavily
using a TOC entry

This would take the 544 pages down to 1 master page and maybe 20 different
manufacturer pagers. ...so 21 vs 544.  This REALLY makes it easier to
maintain by cutting down the shear volume. This rather  outmodes the testing
template so more thought would be needed here.

+1  but another reason...  easier maintainability.  
      

I never seem to get much of a response when I try and improve something
in the laptop testing wiki... oh well.
 
I think I'll make a page called
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingMakes
 
And linked to there the make pages, for example:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTesting/HewlettPackard
and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTesting/MiscMake
for the obscure or poorly represented makes
 
Obviously this allows for new possibilities, for example there can be
general notes for specific makes. Links to support sites/ forums etc.
 
So that's my plan, any comments?
