:(I'm discussing this sort of stuff with [[MarkDilley]] in [[WikiIndex:Chatroom|chat]] right now.) He just posted, "WikiIndex is a community project and will stay in that realm. That was my main value and it was shared by [[Raymond King|Ray]] (who [http://www.whois.net/whois/wikiindex.org registered the domain name wikiindex.org]) and [[John Stanton|John]] and others who are involved." Earlier Dilley said, "...when I was working on it, with David Cary and others, it was call SwitchWiki" The [[SwitchWiki]] article has the "status" marked as "[[:category:GoalReached|GoalReached]]". I'm not sure what the "goals" of [[WikiIndex]] currently are.
