I asked my housemate to type in switchwiki into the address bar.  WorldWideWiki:SwitchWiki hit first.  He then made from the world wide wiki site to the WikiIndex.  He sat back and was amazed at the front page, so many choices, I sat back and went, hmmm, does the front page look to complex?  wouldn't it be nice to just have a search button in the center like google.  but at this site, you can edit your search page if you want..? Interesting idea I had, but the real issue is we just need to think how we want to be presented to people. Anyway, I asked him to pick a site, he chose one that had '''Hard Wiki'' on it and he went there. After stumbling around a bit he clicked on the photo, remarked postively after visiting the [[CreativeCommons]] site.  Then asked how to get to the wiki, I said it was easy.  He then found it and went to [[HardWiki]] and I thought the FrontPage was nice.  News on the right, community edited news. ([[RecentChanges.Info]] maybe here on the wiki, similar to what [[CommunityWiki]] is doing.

He found a news article that linked to google video, and then he started to surf it. Like I enjoy surfing wiki.

Yes, MediaWiki has them pre-installed.  I'm satisfied with our resolutions [[Namespace Conventions]]. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 15:24, 7 Feb 2006 (EST)
