Pretty much.  You create categories by Creating pages called 
"CategoryXxxxxx".

You assign a page to a category by putting the category tag at the 
bottom of it.  The standard is at the very bottom of the page you put:

----
CategoryYyyyyyy

The CategoryCategory page is a page with an embedded search in it for 
any page which has "CategoryCategory" in it.

So if you create a page called CategoryClients then on the EclipseIde 
and WinCvs pages you would put:

----
CategoryClient

at the bottom of the page.  Anyone clicking that would go to the page 
which would have a list of all the other pages which belong to that 
category.

And it's all made a little more interesting by wiki's use of backlinks, 
anytime you click on a page's title, you get a page which lists all of 
the pages which contain the page name.

Just remember, it's all a little weird because wiki's adhere to "worse 
is better" and keep things simple.  But it really does work pretty well.

Adam.
