Re: How to use TikiWiki for documenation?
Not sure if this is the right answer. But how about this ->
Have 1 structure for each manual. So essentially each manual will be a hierarchical tree of wiki pages. If you want them to behave like articles and don't want others to be able to comment, you could disable edit permissons.
You can always search in the wiki pages.
I don't get what you mean by linking manuals.
You can display table of contents (the tree structure) of all your manuals (structures) in the homepage.
