[Pmwiki-users] Usage suggestions?

[Chick Foxgrover]

This is what I was asking about using groups. Aside from trails what 
I'm having trouble figuring out is if it is possible to create 
hierarchies or nested groups that can then be navigated as such and 
created as such. Conceptually like creating a page with 
Group.GroupLevel1.GroupLevel2. Or how does one establish a Group root 
or home page that can be navigated to from a subordinate page. What I'm 
not sure about is whether this possible, or even desirable from a wiki 
philosophy standpoint.

I hope I haven't just muddied the waters for you Philip
