The index is navigation help that we create, just as a book index, or in the 
Internet site overview, list of articles that one can find. 

Portal is by all merits the same with more attention given to graphic layout, 
and some added content, like featured article. 
My goal is to have something similar to Wikipedia Portals on openSUSE wiki, 
but I would need 2 days in 1 to cover all my interests :-) 

Both mentioned are similar ways to make finding information easier, and there 
is more like categories [1], namespaces, disambiguation pages etc.  

Now, for both indexes and portals it is important to have naming that is easy 
to follow, which for me means that is self explanatory and synchronized in 
all used forms. That is huge task that is in starting stage. Here is the 
thread that explains more:
   http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-wiki/2007-03/msg00003.html

With start of Education project there will be a lot of knowledge that only 
educational professionals can categorise, so that simple people like wiki 
editors can rearrange in indexes or portals, making it accessible to as many 
readers as possible. 
Including one or more
  [[Category:<name-of-category>]] 
tags at the top of article will help in further organizational efforts. 

I hope that this clarifies my comments in previous post. 


[1]  Category, that I had in mind, is built in feature of Mediawiki software 
to create page with title 
  Category:Xyz 
if there is at least one article with wiki tag [[Category:xyz]]. 
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorization
and something that we would need: 
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorical_index

This is the list of all created categories on openSUSE wiki:
  http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Categories
and this is the list all top level categories: 
  http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Uncategorizedcategories
