I am not a fan of the WikiIndex project space for most of what is in it. I think that content deserves to be front and center. I say that because I have percolated a long time on what to do about it, only thing I have come up with so far :-)  is to just let folks know.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

For me, those are useful when the project is huge and about the product, i.e. [[Wikipedia]].  For smaller wiki, the project space feels like a spreading of focus in a smaller wiki like ours.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]
