List currently on Template:Recent visitors could get rather long, so maybe have a separate page for it? Robin Patterson 22:32, 1 June 2006 (EDT)

Colors

I seem to have messed up the colors. Can someone fix it? Thanks! TedErnst | talk 19:04, 14 June 2006 (EDT)

News

Mark, you were envisioning the photo news-item staying in the middle while Ray was envisioning all news entering on the left and moving to the right. Any futher thoughts after my mess-creation today? What about news that needs to be "sticky" like the WikiSym notice? TedErnst | talk 19:04, 14 June 2006 (EDT)

Yeah, I am not sold on the "blogging" flow on the front page of left to right. I wonder if having a more constantly image update in the middle surrounded by sticky articles and plain text articles would be more "exciting" (well, ya know, as exciting as text on a wiki can get!). MarkDilley

Okay, no problem. So of what we have there right now, we can put the image back in the middle. Then we have WikiSym, the front-page re-org asking for help and that peer to peer thing. I can do the work to move around again. What would you suggest (or just do it, obviously)? TedErnst | talk 12:40, 15 June 2006 (EDT)

I am just talking out loud, do you want to let it settle for a day or two? MarkDilley
My thought on the "left-right" flow is that if the picture moves from panel to panel, since it is recognizable, it shows more "activity" for the casual user. --Raymond King | talk 12:46, 19 June 2006 (EDT)

Sure thing. TedErnst | talk 15:32, 15 June 2006 (EDT)

Wiki of the day

You need a wiki of the day, or a wiki of the week! 194.80.21.10 06:58, 19 June 2006 (EDT)

Yes, one per week would probably be more manageable for us to start. Would be great if we had a way to invite the community to participate also, then we could get up to one/day --Raymond King | talk 12:47, 19 June 2006 (EDT)

Suggestion

As WikiIndex is about other wikis and as such can only help promote awareness about them, may I suggest that it is in everyone's interest to work toward the goal of having at least one representative of every wiki community or project be an editor at WikiIndex? What does everyone think? -- JustinShaffner

Lovely idea! MarkDilley
