::::Speaking of Mark, I don't think he wants to be the ultimate arbiter of conflict or policy. However, he's been around here far longer than me, so I find him to be a good resource as to the original ethos of WikiIndex. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 20:34, 16 October 2009 (EDT) | ::::Speaking of Mark, I don't think he wants to be the ultimate arbiter of conflict or policy.

: I believe that [http://communitywiki.org/OnAndOffTopic everything is on-topic somewhere]. | |||
: I see the WikiIndex as an early, manual version 2 of what will someday become the highly automated [http://communitywiki.org/ProjectSpace Project Space Network]. Version 1 was the now-offline [[SwitchWiki]]. Perhaps someday the [[WikiProject:Wiki-Noding]] will become version 3, or perhaps we'll figure out a better way. | |||
: I see all of these as a kind of manual [http://communitywiki.org/ContentRouting content routing system]. This is a system for (a) people looking for information on some topic can rapidly find one or more wiki that are likely to have that information, and more importantly (b) people who want to discuss and explain what they know about some topic can rapidly find the appropriate wiki for them to start talking about that topic, and (c) people who recognize that a witty, insightful page is off-topic for one wiki can find some more appropriate place for that witty, insightful page. | |||
: I think that most information -- even extremely notable information -- does not belong on WikiIndex itself. I want WikiIndex to help me quickly find the wiki where any particular kind of information does belong. | |||
