What are thoughts about putting questions/brainstorms/discussions in the "Talk:" namespace?

If the discussion is about a particular thing, then using the talk pages for that thing is a good idea. I'm not so sure about using the talk pages for a non-thing, like this page. TedErnst | talk 11:50, 18 Feb 2006 (EST)

wikis and wiki engines

The basic article template "Wiki List" is being used for Engine category pages. Almost all engines have a wiki, for example, MoinMoin has MoinMoinWiki. In this case, there is a page for the wiki (MoinMoinWiki) as well as a page for the engine category (category:MoinMoin). I believe this is correct. In the case of Lizzy, there is just a single page for both the wiki and the engine: (category:Lizzy). This creates a recursive situation where the article points to itself. I'm not sure this is a big problem, but now would be a good time for us to establish consistent rules.

Please add thoughts. --Raymond King | talk 22:08, 15 Feb 2006 (EST)

Thoughts coming regarding this... :-)

Checkout UseModWiki. Mark and I have been working on his idea that the page for an engine has the template box for the wiki for that engine and the list of wikis using that engine down below. I think we've learned a lot. Lizzy is part of our experiment. It's definitely time to get down to business documenting what we've learned and then decide how to proceed.
