Is it something more than an inter-connected directory listing of wikis? If not, then I think WikiIndex is ideal as it is. The main improvement could be to encourage a complete categorisation of the entries in WikiIndex. People can then navigate to related wiki via the category pages. However, like I said, as yet I am not sure of the WikiNode concept. Can anyone explain it to me in layman's terms? --[[User:Spud Gun | <b><FONT COLOR="#8B3A3A">Carl McBride</FONT></b>]] ([[User talk:Spud Gun |talk]]) 05:28, 5 October 2007 (EDT) | ||

::: It seems spammy to me. I love the idea of contacting wikis. How can we do it in a non-spammy way? A while back I was working on the [[WikiNodes]] project here at [[WikiIndex]], and we struggled with this same issue. How, for example, can we be of service to the wiki we're contacting? A [[WikiNode]] seems like a useful tool for each wiki. We can link back to [[WikiIndex]], and their [[WikiIndex]] article from a [[WikiNode]] as well. That seems somehow less spammy than a [[WikiIndex]] article on their wiki. peace, [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 15:29, 7 October 2007 (EDT) | ::: It seems spammy to me.
