+==== Using Namespaces ====
+Namespaces in the wiki allow different pages to have the same name.  Just the same as in a programming languages.
+Namespaces can have nested namespaces.
+To create a namespace just use the namespace:
+    - Example Guides    guides:
+      - **guides:start** is the start page in this namespace
+      - **guides:software:** is a nested namespace
+      - **guides:software:start** is the default page in this namespace
+      - **guides:software:overview** is the //overview// page in //guides:software//
+I don't have any real guidance for creating namespaces, but the more the merrier is my general philosophy.
+The wiki creates namespaces using a colon in the link.
